When I searched this question on Google, ProtonVPNs site only explains how to sign up… I’m already signed up for the paid Basic version which is supposed to include P2P. It doesn’t mention anything about the best protocols/countries to use for P2P torrenting. Does anyone know the best country and protocol to use for P2P torrenting? I’m trying to set up a ‘profile’ for specific torrent use on both my cellphone and windows laptop.
Thanks in advance to any responses!
Just create a new Profile, choose P2P with Smart Protocol and Fastest Server.
Connect to the Profile and it will give you the best protocols / server for torrenting.
Another Tip for torrenting is to bind the VPN’s Network Interface to your BitTorrent client in the client settings to prevent any IP leaks.
Since I didn’t want to create another topic, I decided to ask here:
Is it okay to use a P2P server for normal web browsing and YouTube?
Many thanks.

This is a very good tip and I’m glad you mentioned it to them.
But binding the VPN’s Network Interface to your BitTorrent client is not very necessary, right?
Yes, that‘s fine.
Quick Connect will often give you P2P servers anyway.
It‘s necessary if you want to hide what you do.
If you’re torrenting movies or if torrenting in your Country is illegal you should definitely do this.
Otherwise it‘s still safer and I really don‘t see a reason why you wouldn’t want to do it.
Sometimes I leave the settings of any torrent application, Qbittorrent or Tixati, to the default. Thats why I asked.
