Can I torrent using Proton VPN?

Yes. All you need to do is sign up for a paid Proton VPN plan to connect to our specially optimized high-speed P2P servers.

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 Proton VPN, 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.

Torrent securely at high speeds with Proton VPN

Proton VPN is a no-logs VPN that protects your real IP address from peers, unblocks torrent sites, and prevents anyone from knowing what you download.
