Both services provide excellent speed. I am aware of the big speed loss when coupling 2 vpns together but for me its all about safety. If I receive a dcma troll letter, I could get legally screwed, no warnings, no “we will cut your dsl next time” type of warning, you get the letter, you get taken to court and forcefully pay like 1-2k JUST FOR ONE MOVIE.
Obviously ddl would be wiser given the harsh legality of torrents around here but regardless of the download method.
Is chaining two vpns together a good idea privacy wise? I mean the second vpn could still contact the first vpn and demand infos.
No clue where your located, but I’d be way less worried about the VPN turning over your info than I would be about not having the VPN set up correctly. If you’re using a VPN and still get a letter from your provider than you are probably leaking your info without realizing it.
Go with a VPN that doesn’t keep logs. Of if you’re still that paranoid, don’t torrent.
At that point I’d probably just not torrent. If you’re that worried about it.
if you want to torrent, and worried if a VPN will turn your information over, then use a seedbox. r/seedboxes has some good suggestions on what seedboxes you should use.
You mean Vpn and system wide killswitch + dns leak protection, disabling webrtc.
Fast yes, Safe no.
Sorry I had to do it haha.
You’re right, a couple tv shows and movies are not worth the 1-2k$ risk. ddl prob. better
As many pointed out, torrenting is prob. not for me with such a harsh legality. Ddling seems better.
openVPN keeps no logs. It runs its server images on ram, and their servers literally have no storage attached, and not even a place to connect a flash drive. They literally cannot keep logs if they tried with their set up and this was proven in court when someone using their network was accused of doing something illegal and when served with a subpoena to turn over their logs, openVPN responded that not only do they not keep logs, their machines are incapable, which was further proven in court!
Also, Private Internet Access has a wonderful kill switch and uses openVPN’s network. It works very well on Linux, MacOS and iOS, windows, and android.
Well that’s not what I meant, but it’s certainly a good way to go and I would assume anyone torrenting or even downloading things deemed illegal in their country would be taking similar measures.
My point mainly being, that if you have your VPN set-up correctly, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about, those getting letters aren’t getting them because the VPN turned over the records, but because they forgot to turn their VPN on, didn’t have their torrent client’s connection bound to the VPN, or were leaking their data, which are obviously things you covered.
