I do some torrenting and have decided I'm finally going to use a VPN starting as soon as possible. I'm looking for recommendations of a pay VPN service, under $10 per month, if possible. I'll probably do a one or three month signup at first, to try the service.
Never having used a VPN, several things aren't clear to me:
-- Can a service be had that at that price that is capable of giving speeds saturating a cable connection of 60 Mbps or 120 Mbps?
-- Can the VPN tunnel(s) be set up on my hardware router/firewall (Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite), or must they use a software client? I'll be checking the Ubiquiti forums also about this.
-- Do you recommend tunneling all of your traffic through the VPN, or only traffic where you're concerned about maintaining anonymity?
Seems the speed would dictate whether or not you can tunnel all internet traffic. I'm not overly concerned about achieving full saturation of the link when torrenting, but it would affect whether I want typical web browsing or, say, email retrieval to go through the VPN.
