Absolute best VPN for this criteria?

VPN
1

I have given up on free VPNs so want to look into getting a paid one now finally, and there is a few criteria for to decide which one. I use qBitTorrent by the way if that matters.

  • Reliable kill switch
  • Allows P2P (of course) and is pretty fast with it too
  • Has port forwarding (I’m still not sure how necessary this is but seems important online)
  • Has a mobile app and desktop app so I can use my account on both
  • Price is not a issue really because its all roughly the same and I am willing to pay if its gonna be worth it and good

does anyone know which VPN would fit all that?

edit: thanks everyone ill take a look at all of these now

edit 2: wow that is a lot of responses lol

AirVPN is cheap and has a no-nonsense port forwarding setup. The apps aren’t pretty but they work from my experience. Speeds range from like 300Mbps to 600Mbps over a 1Gbps connection.

Windscribe has been great for me last 5 years

I’ve heard Azire is good too. I believe they have port forwarding as well.

Reliable kill switch

Not really relevant in terms of torrenting since you should be binding the VPNs interface to qBittorrent. Most VPNs have equal kill switches in terms of reliability in my experience.

Has port forwarding (im still not sure how necessary this is but seems important online)

Depends on how fast your internet connection is, as well as how popular the torrents you download are. If the torrent you’re downloading has a very low amount of seeders, you might have some trouble connecting to them if you’re not port forwarding. But if your main source of torrents has a large amount of seeders, you probably won’t need it.

But the only two (good) options with port forwarding are Proton, or Windscribe (you will have to purchase a static IP with windscribe). Otherwise, just get Mullvad (still pretty much on top in terms of privacy), or the custom plan with Windscribe without buying the static IP.

I’ve used all 3, and they all work great. All of them have mobile apps.

Reliable kill switch

These are software based and can fail. Bind the network interface to your torrent client.

As to the rest you have only really two options - AirVPN and Proton VPN

torguard. its 5 bucks a month speeds are 800-830 of 1gbps on all protocols and everything else you want. My second place vpn for me is surfshark 40 bucks for a year. Their speeds arnt as good as torguard but its 600-700 out of 1bps they dont have port forwarding though.

Windscribe has a $30 year deal atm, just signed up and it’s been wonderful. Bind it to qbittorrent and good to go

I have McAfee LiveSafe virus protection which comes with a VPN and it has everything you’re looking for except I’m not sure about port forwarding. I only paid around $40.00 for a year and it works really well and I do alot of downloading.

Torguard is the best :slight_smile:

11

Yeah but don’t forget torrents are only as fast as the uploaders connection and the amount of seeds
