Cool! Thanks you
Make sure there are no "leaks" once you get PIA set up. There are online torrent leak checkers.
I’ve been using PIA to get around various region locked streaming sites for awhile now
What do you mean “leaks” like apps on my Pc not using it?
DNS leaks. I got caught on my VPN like 3 times and didn't understand why until I realized that my VPN has massive DNS leaks.
You can bind your torrent client to only use the VPN connection. The default is that if there is a drop on the vpn, most torrent clients use any connection which means it would just use your normal connection and could leak your ip address.
