I heard about this VPN in one of my recent threads here, and I believe Lemmy is cleaner than Reddit, so here I am, ready to read what you think about the service.

Would you use it to torrent? I said I only needed to watch movies, but eventually the stuff I watch is in a "niche" language, and the sites are overcrowded, so downloading from torrent is probably the best way (at the moment I'm downloading from the streaming sites through an app and Proton, but it's getting a bit slow).

^ It's not even Proton that's the problem; it's the sites that are slow as heck, and downloading an episode each evening sometimes is too much of a PITA. (while watching it like a normal user, well after dinner is basically a 1-minute wait every 10-15 seconds or something like that)

I've been using it for my torrents. No complaints.

Well, sometimes gluetun has been unable to connect to a server. But I worked around that by just adding multiple servers.

I can't speak to speed, because the only thing I run through it is my torrents. I just set and forget, and later on, the download is complete.
