Despite all the efforts made by governments and Internet service providers, downloading music, movies and video games on torrent is still very popular.
But when you download on the torrent network your IP address is visible to all other online users with whom you share files and therefore to ISPs and various governmental organizations (copyright preservation, etc.).
In terms of privacy, we’ve seen better, so if you don’t want your IP address to be visible and want to be able to download torrent files in total anonymity, we highly recommend you to use a VPN.
But not all VPNs are equal, far from it!Some don’t allow torrent downloads, others have a more than questionable data retention policy and finally some have poor performance on torrent (provider’s throttling, poor server performance, etc) to allow you to download at a decent speed.
Based on our various tests, we have listed which VPNs we think are the best VPNs on the market for torrenting.
