minus-squareScott 🇨🇦🏴☠️@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up15·2 days agoCurrently, I’m using Mullvad and used Proton a few months ago. Surfshark did the job many years ago. Just make sure you pair your torrent client and vpn so if the vpn goes offline, the torrent stops down/up loading.
minus-squareickplant@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 days agoThank you - I believe that’s accomplished by setting Mullvad as the network interface in the client, which I did :D. But I will double check to make sure, theoretically speaking.
