I don't recommend ProtonVPN - tried it and if you're torrenting they throttle you to 20Mbps. Shady past connection to NordVPN / Tesonet also a concern.



I’ve never had any throttling occur. Are you using a free plan or paid?


Paid "Plus" plan and connecting to their dedicated P2P servers in Switzerland and Sweden. Definitely getting throttled by them to ~20Mbps while torrenting. Tried a competitor VPN - no throttling, torrenting at full speed. Glad I only paid for a month - they won't be seeing any more of my money once the month's up.
