    NordVPN (and every other vpn, honestly) is good for torrents, they even have dedicated torrent nodes. I got a multi-year thing, for under 3 euros a month.

      NordVPN is not good for torrents, they don’t support port forwarding

        Can you explain how port forwarding is used for torrenting and how it works with other VPNs?

          Basically, if you aren’t port forwarded, you will get less peers. This is because you aren’t allowing incoming traffic, so only other port forwarded peers can talk to you. If you are port forwarded, you get all the peers.

          With vpns that support port forwarding, you can set the port forwarded port on the VPN to the port in your bittorrent client and it will allow incoming traffic.
