If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don't find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name. Reply the reason to it. This make it easier to understand the real life user cases.

P.S: I am only looking for paid VPNs please don't mention "free vpn".

Fully anonymous account, purchased with crypto, has a warrant canary, open source clients, regular server audits to verify no logs, relatively cheap, fast, works on all my devices, VPN bypass for things like steam, killswitch, and a choice of VPN protocols.

It also has multihop, but that's just a gimmick.

This is what I'm currently using. It's been great, but they just ended port forwarding. I will not be renewing.

Torguard.net

Torguard has port forwarding which is essential if you belong to private trackers. Wireguard connection is very fast and stable. Plenty of 50% off coupons that are easy to find via Google. This summer, they had a 70% off coupon. I opened a ticket and they quickly applied the coupon to my existing account.

OP’s request was needlessly complicated especially once the thread got big.

I use Nord VPN. Might switch to Proton when my sub is done.

I use Mullvad because I don't need port forwarding. If you are using a VPN specifically for piracy I would use a seedbox, cheap ones aren't that much more expensive.

I don't use VPN

Is it just me that using a VPN on my android, everything becomes much faster ? Apps load faster, the internet is faster, etc. Is it because it cuts out some s****y connection ?
