Best cheap VPN for torrenting on Linux

I am currently using Mullvad VPN however I want to settle long term on a VPN, and with Mullvad VPN’s fair pricing practices it makes it cheaper to take 2 year plan with other VPN providers than to keep paying for Mullvad.

I want to use a VPN solely for torrening, and don’t really care that match about the privacy it can give me so long as I can torrent safely.

EDIT: I will use a disposable credit card so I don’t really care about them trying to charge me a lot of money in 2 years

I use proton VPN, been good.

I used to use PIA and it was pretty good

I use PIA, works great.

The best VPN I have found is Surfshark.

You can get it on either the AUR or the Official site shows you how to install it if you’re on debian

There’s a resources page in our wiki you might find useful!

I use Nord. I also pay for NordPass so it’s combined monthly, so I use their stuff for more than torrenting. I often use it when streaming via Sportsnet so I can get around local TV blackouts and it’s been reliable for that.

Best is debatable,

I ran Mulvad for a while, good VPN, but pricey, and since then they have stopped port forwarding, important if you are on private trackers.

I currently torrent from my Linux server I use proton with openvpn, not the in-house proton client, I use port forwarding through natpmpc

Good ol proton and Swedish privacy law haha

I thought its swiss privacy law because they are a swiss company?

Sweden, Switzerland, oh well. I get my countries confused sometimes.
