A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...

If it is for piracy - I have used Nord VPN for 6+ years now because it's like 2 years for $100 and I am just fine. I have never received a letter, or an email about piracy.

As always check for a DNS leak and if possible setup a VPN kill switch (built-in Nord), or use Qbitorrent (my choice) which has its own kill switch.

If you want a VPN for more nefarious purposes I can't, and wouldn't help with that.

I've got the Killswitch set up. How do I check for DNS leak?
