Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you.

Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You’ll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent.

I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.

    If there are no logs, there is nothing to give up. There is no law that they have to keep logs as far as I know.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m interested in i2p. Thanks for posting.

      The point is that logs are generated and then deleted but companies who do not wish to keep such logs (e.g. IP address of client who connects to the VPN). I2P sure to it’s design, doesn’t even generate such incriminating logs (it might generate other kinds of logs which is a different discussion).

      Thanks

      You have to trust that the VPN provider doesn’t store logs. I2P is pretty much trustless besides where the binary comes from, but you can even compile it yourself.

        Mullvad is trustworthy (imho, and because of audits).

        Anyway, you can have both, and run purple i2p with blackjack and torrents!

          Mullvad is great. I unfortunately had to switch because they removed port forwarding, but I highly wish they didn’t.

              I switched to AirVPN right after I used mullvad but I was not that happy with their speeds (max speeds were around 500-600 Mbit/s), so I now use Proton. Proton is nice except that the port changes with every connection. Fortunately I found a fork of the VPN app that has support for automatically changing the port in qbittorrent. Other than that I’m pretty happy with Proton. :)

        I use PIA, cheap and they’ve been involved in at least 2 court cases where their no logging policies were proven.
