The catch is, not every VPN service allows BitTorrent on its servers.
With a virtual private network, or VPN, all your internet traffic is encrypted to ensure that no one can see what you're up to-even when you're torrenting. To circumvent these barricades, and to protect your privacy when torrenting, using a VPN is a sensible choice. Given its reputation, some ISPs and network managers block BitTorrent traffic altogether. It's a brilliant idea but its decentralized nature also makes it perfect for illegally sharing copyrighted content online, too. The whole system is designed to be decentralized, with no main server to choke under the burden of traffic. At its best, BitTorrent addresses the logjam created when too many people try to download large files from a single source at once-be they bootlegged tv shows, hot music tracks, DRM-free books, or terabytes of cat photos.īitTorrent turns a file's popularity into a benefit, instead of a bottleneck, by having each of the downloaders distribute pieces of the file to every other downloader.
