Moved from the Tutorials forum to Anonymity.

In terms of a VPN, IPVanish, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access, ZenMate and Windscribe all serve their purpose well. Of course, you can also use Tor.

If you're only looking for privacy while downloading torrents, then a VPN is your best bet. Since your ISP is claiming that they'll "track you" for downloading torrents, you shouldn't be alarmed about a cease and desist letter. I would recommend a VPN like IPVanish or ExpressVPN. They're both extremely private - upholding their no-logs policy, and they're both cheap options.

Once you have an account with the VPN client installed, you should definitely make sure you have the best settings for privacy enabled, since your ISP has specifically warned you about monitoring your traffic. Settings like your protocol, Scrambling Traffic, DNS Leak Protection, and Kill Switch should be considered. If you aren't sure what protocol to use, do your own research. Most VPNs support a wide range of protocols, but most support OpenVPN, which is definitely your best option. Not all of these settings will be available across all VPNs, but most if not all of should be.

Further to the above post, NordVPN will suit your usability.

There's a lot more Involved with anonymity than using a VPN, so If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

A site i recommend is using https://www.privacytools.io

It explains what program/services to use why and if they are opensource.


VPNs They recommend:
Mullvad VPN:
Based in Sweden
You can pay with bitcoin, paypal, credit card and you can even mail in the cash. Has port forwarding as well.
The Mullvad VPN clients have a built-in killswitch to block internet connections outside of the VPN. They also are able to automatically start on boot.
If you wish to be more secure you can visit their site through tor using this address: xcln5hkbriyklr6n.onion
https://mullvad.net/en/pricing/

ProtonVPN:
Based in Switzerland
You can pay with bitcoin but its a hassle because you need to have an existing account or contact their support.
The ProtonVPN clients have a built-in killswitch to block internet connections outside of the VPN. They also are able to automatically start on boot.
Pretty sure it allows p2p.
