I don’t live in the US, so my ISP doesn’t really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren’t cheap and I’m on a strict budget (wouldn’t pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?
Like many have said it really comes down to where you live and what your country / local ISP do about it. Where I am it’s not an issue. That being said I still got a subscription to Surfshark, they had a great discounted offer for 24 months I think it was like 50 something dollars for first 24 mos (2 yrs) a steal. So do as you see fit, better to be safe than sorry
