FAQ
How to choose a VPN client for P2P sharing?
Compare speeds on WireGuard, NordLynx, or Lightway, the availability of dedicated P2P servers, and an audited "no logs" policy.
Is there a free VPN for torrents without ads?
Windscribe and Privado provide 10-15 GB for free; Proton VPN's free plan has unlimited data, but P2P is only available on paid plans.
Does a VPN increase download speed?
If your ISP throttles P2P traffic, the tunnel can add about 10-15% to the average speed.
Protocols: WireGuard · NordLynx · Lightway
WireGuard provides minimal overhead and ping; NordLynx (a WireGuard modification) adds double NAT; Lightway speeds up connections and saves battery. Choose the protocol that is available in the client and shows the best speed on the nearest server.
*Speeds measured on a test Wi-Fi 6 network (500 Mbps channel, April – May 2025); actual performance depends on your ISP and distance to the server.
