  1. It doesn't make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn't designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you're going to leak your actual IP address.
  2. Tor is a TCP only network.
  3. While this doesn't give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.

Expensive VPN with less features. Probably made sense 12 or 13 years ago.

I do not use their VPN, just the socks5 proxy, so I can't comment. It's $6.95 USD monthly. Costs less than a meal out. Do you have an alternative that is less expensive with no catches or limits? I'm all ears. Serious. I'm always willing to try other stuff. Any socks5 proxy service that costs less.

I just don't get calling it expensive. It's not really.

Mullvad costs $5 and Im not aware of any catches Would be glad if others pointed out if there are any Actual VPN, socks5 proxy available

Mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding.

Correct. I'm a leech. I use a private tracker and whenever I need ratio, I pay for a month of seedbox on feralhosting and grab popular torrents for a month. I have a ton of surplus ratio.
