    My VPN advertises protected torrenting as a feature. Many do.

    And it’s pretty nondebatable that VPNs are advertised for getting around regional blocking for Netflix etc, or generally getting around censorship like in China.

      Ironically, almost all the exit VPNs are owned by either China or Israel. With a few exceptions.

        My VPN is headquartered in California, and actively removed their presence from Hong Kong once their security policy matched China’s, and removed themselves from Russia since that country was opposed to the zero logs policy.
