The last time I used PIA was about three or four years ago. But PIA allows port forwarding so your IP is exposed.

You wouldn't want "the Windows" option. That's just very insecure PPTP. The VPN.ac client supports that too, but in their literature on the website they state that it shouldn't be used. I guess the only time you would use it is when you need damn good speed and don't care much about encryption.
Yeah, I would never consider PPTP and would use L2TP/IPsec if speed was an issue. I can't think of any other reason to use any of that above OpenVPN using AES or ECC.
You honestly think that the ones that say they don't log, actually don't log?When it comes to torrenting you have to be carefull. Only a couple of them are suitable. Make sure the VPN comes with a kill switch and that they have a no logging policy. I haver higher speeds than you mentioned and IPVanish is able to keep up with OpenVPN, without significant speed losses. In this website they review the best VPNs for torrenting. There are more good choices there. And yes, tunnel all your traffic through the VPN. Safer that way

Also, it isn't always better to tunnel everything, like if you use a mail client, most all of the big players will see your IP hopping around, and think your account has been compromised.
Same with bank accounts, and stuff of that nature.
For those type of things, it is better to always have your ISP given IP.
They need logs to defend themselves from a variety of things.Why would they? They're better off in every conceivable way by not keeping logs.
Two factor security usually.How would anyone be able to retrieve email or do banking on a cell phone on different networks if that were the case?
Did you tried PureVPN? If not, you should have to.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.

I use PIA with an 85 Mb connection and can nearly saturate it. I do find that certain servers are faster than others, and normally go through Texas or Florida. I see you didn't like it, but I have had zero complaints with their service or speed. In fact, I re-upped again in September for another year.I ended up dropping PIA and getting a refund. I just couldn't get anything even remotely resembling my line speed. Even simple web browsing through the VPN was unbearable. The latency alone made it unusable. Turning off the VPN and only using the socks proxy for torrenting was very uneven. It would be fast for periods then it would slow to a crawl.
Still looking...
A person who has never used a security software usually get caught by ISP for illegal downloading. We purchase VPN for torrening but we forget to use secure payment method for these kind of transactions. Remember you must subscribe a best VPN for torrenting that offers bitcoins payment option, this payment method makes your information anonymous for ISP's and for VPN providers.
I think the most reliable way to read the VPN reviews before buying it, actually this tells you the true story.
Never understood this mindset. Who cares if you pay for it with your personal CC or not.
Really? Only if you're doing nothing illegal or with potential for a lawsuit. If you're torrenting, it's certainly conceivable that someone would hit the VPN provider for their logs and then information about the account holder. That gets back to whether or not VPN providers keep user logs. Like I said before, it would be stupid for them to do so, unless required by law.
So what.. so they show I paid for vpn usage. That's not illegal. PIA doesn't keep records of any activity either. I imagine they pipe their output to /dev/null, but on their site it says they don't keep records of anything..
“A subpoena was sent to London Trust Media [doing business as PrivateInternetAccess.com] and the only information they could provide is that the cluster of IP addresses being used was from the east coast of the United States,” the FBI’s complaint reads.
