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.
Proton VPN offers dedicated high-speed P2P servers, enabling you to connect quickly and download files securely.
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.
If you are connected to Proton VPN, 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.
We do not record any data about your online browsing while you are connected to Proton VPN. Our strict no-logs policy means we do not log your metadata, IP address, session lengths, or any other data that could potentially identify you.
With our unique VPN Accelerator, you can increase your browsing speed by over 400%. We achieve this improved performance by creating multiple simultaneous connections, cutting down on latency.
Our P2P servers are optimized to handle torrent traffic and offer high-speed 10 Gbps connections. Proton VPN also prevents your internet provider from throttling your connection, ensuring you can transfer files fast.
All our apps feature a kill switch or always-on VPN to prevent your IP address from being exposed to peers if the VPN accidentally disconnects. We also have a permanent kill switch that ensures you can only use the internet while protected with a VPN connection.
Swiss data privacy laws are among the strongest in the world and allow us to run a truly no-logs VPN service.
Proton VPN is used by journalists, activists, and millions of people around the world, and Proton is recommended by the UN as a means to defeat censorship.
Our Quick Connect button connects you to the fastest server for your location in a single click and our P2P servers are clearly marked.
Our apps are open source, so anyone can check their code, allowing us to take advantage of the whole cybersecurity community to find and fix vulnerabilities.
Route your connection through a high-security server located in privacy-friendly countries before routing it to a second VPN server for added security.
All Proton VPN apps offer NetShield, a DNS filtering feature that protects you from ads, malware, and trackers.
For additional privacy and convenient access to onion sites, connect to the Tor anonymity network in a single click.
Our servers use full disk encryption. This means no one can intercept your data, even if our data centers are physically attacked.

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.
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.
