Hello, I’m looking for the cheapest possible VPN that allows torrenting only for 1 month. I doesn’t need to be supersafe, all I want from it is to hide my IP and not sell or leak my data. It’s also important to have port forwarding and P2P unlocked.
I can pay max 2-3$ monthly. It can have some GB limits, but I need at least 50GB. I tried free version of Cryptostorm, buy it seems like they block P2P and also don’t have port forwarding.
Windscribe’s build-a-plan is like $2 a month with no limits.
Am I reading your request correctly? You only need a VPN for 1 month?
CryptoStorm or AirVPN.
Cryptofree does lack port-forwarding but it doesn’t block p2p.
I’m using IPVANISH with recent added wireGuard $50 year with 24hr help…
Windscribe lacks WireGuard port-forwarding
Correct, I do not plan to use torrents after that.
I can’t download anyhing while using CryptoStorm. Every torrent has a status “downloading metadata” or “[F] Downloading” and nothing happens. Both download and upload speeds are at 0. As soon as I turn off VPN it starts to download with full speed so it’s definitely not a torrent’s fault.
Wait. So if you set the protocol to wireguard then you can’t use port forwarding?
I’m not sure you’ll find what you want for $2-$3. Mullvad is €5, AirVPN is €7 for 1 month.
It would be worth the extra $3-$4 to go with either of those.
Maybe you messed up the binding or it’s torrents with very few users so the lack of port-forwarding shows.
One of them was the latest Ubuntu so it must have a lot of seeders
Well I just tried it and it worked fine. I tested with Cryptofree WireGuard server (France) and Ubuntu 21.10. Magnet resolved quickly and downloaded at 50 MB/s from 1200 seeders.
So Cryptofree isn’t the problem.
Are you using their client or OpenVPN app?
Neither, I’m using WireGuard. Go to their WireGuard config website, add your public key on the “FREE - one node” and just use the config they give you afterwards. To get the public key scroll down and follow their steps or install WireGuard app and then click to add an empty tunnel where you’ll see your public and private keys (use them in Cryptofree config).
This is the issue with CryptoStorm, it’s one of the best VPNs out there but it’s not made to be user-friendly.
I did everything according to the instructions and I have a connection, everything is fine, except for 2 things.My ipv6 is leaking and torrents still don’t work.
Now I’m testing the free windscribe and I have no problems with torrents or leaks. I think I’m just going to buy their $2 plan.
My ipv6 is leaking and torrents still don’t work.
Then you messed up somewhere, it’s fine here
Use AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 in the WireGuard config - it will prevent DNS leaks. Good luck on your hunt.
I bought the $2 Windscribe, but apparently there is no portforwarding in this plan, which they didn’t say before, so I can’t seed on private trackers at all.
I ended up torrenting without VPN. YOLO
Also my country doesn’t even care about torrenting that much.
