How can you protect yourself?

The easiest way is to use a VPN. If you are not sure which one to choose, here are the main things to keep in mind if you need it for torrent:

• Make sure your VPN has a Kill Switch feature. This interrupts your internet connection if the VPN falls, preventing your real IP from being revealed.
• Make sure the VPN provider has a non -recording policy, which means it does not collect or store your data. This is vital, because if the authorities request data, the VPN provider cannot hand over anything.
• Choose a VPN that offers streaming and torrent optimized servers to ensure smooth and safe access to your content.
• Check that VPN has DNS protection and IP leak protection. This ensures that your actual IP address is not exposed via DNS or WebRTC leaks.
