I've noticed many people promote VPNs for torrenting to evade legal troubles in some places. But I wonder how do VPN companies get away with legal complaints? Especially if their servers are located in Germany or Japan, where piracy is heavily penalized.
p.s. I have never used a VPN for piracy, and I have never received any DMCA emails.
How's Proton for privacy?
Pretty good. They don't log and I don't think there's been a case where they've released info on anybody.
Proton is great but you don't really need privacy when torrenting
