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".

Do you have any invites? I'm a good seeder.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do have invites but 2/3 people I’ve invited were banned for HnR so generally I don’t invite people unless I know them. If I invite another user who doesn’t seed I’ll lose my invites completely so I’m understandably wary about handing them out

Okay so appereantly you have exclusive sources trackers. I would also love to join one and seed but I never do, cause I thought the most illegal thing was the sharing/seeding part. What id you guys thoughts on that?

Someone has to seed. I am willing to risk it for the biscuit.

A true hero indeed.

I think you meant to reply to my post. Yes it’s the exclusive trackers that keep you safe from needing a VPN, seeding is always part of torrenting. You can earn your way into those bigger private trackers by joining an invite forum and contributing enough, once you show good ratios form other sites you’ll get invites to the big ones like TorrentLeech

Well I honestly replied to both of you guys cause I found it interesting how he asked for a invite for the private torrent club.

Thanks for explaining it! Do you perhaps know a forum where I can start, or at least one you can recommend? I want to get a paid VPN once I am not a student anymore.

I used a site called torrent-invites back in the day, now this was like 15 or 20 years ago so sadly I don't know of a modern one, but I am sure you can find one if you look around. I wouldn't worry about a VPN unless you are using ThePirateBay or some crap like that
