Torrent securely at high speeds with ProtonVPN
ProtonVPN is a no-logs VPN that protects your real IP address from peers, unblocks torrent sites, and prevents anyone from knowing what you download.
Use ProtonVPN for fast and secure BitTorrent downloads
ProtonVPN offers dedicated high-speed P2P servers, enabling you to connect quickly and download files securely.
Servers optimized for file sharing
We have servers that are optimized to handle torrent traffic in jurisdictions that allow P2P file sharing. These servers are labeled with an ⇄ icon. No matter where you are in the world, we have a P2P server nearby to allow you to download files securely and quickly.
Hide your IP address
If you are connected to ProtonVPN, websites and peers sharing the same files as you will only see the IP address of our special P2P servers, not your device’s real IP address. This provides a high level of privacy when downloading content using BitTorrent.
No-logs VPN
We do not record any data about your online browsing while you are connected to ProtonVPN. Our strict no-logs policy(new window) means we do not log your metadata, IP address, session lengths, or any other data that could potentially identify you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect to a P2P server?
Log in to one of our apps and connect to any P2P server. P2P servers are clearly marked with a two-way arrow icon.
How do I access blocked torrent sites?
Our P2P servers are located in countries that do not restrict internet access, including access to torrent sites. Simply connect to one of our P2P servers before visiting a blocked website.
Can other torrent users see my real IP?
In order to share files, BitTorrent clients need to know the IP addresses of everyone sharing the same file. This means anyone else on the same torrent as you who is sharing the same files as you can usually see your real IP address.
However, if you use ProtonVPN, your connection is routed through a VPN server so that the people torrenting with you only see the IP address of the VPN server, not your real IP address.
