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".

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

hide.me for UPnP port forwarding support (TLDR you can have access to more peers)

Mullvad VPN, its pretty good and is a flat fee per month. It works good with Linux Mint.
