Edit: looking through the list of changes[2] does not inspire a lot of confidence in their fork.[1] https://github.com/AirVPN/openvpn3-airvpn[2] https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3/compare/master

I currently have expressvpn which I loan from my friend. Is this vpn so bad that I shouldn’t even use it? I looked at the prices and it’s price range is in the high end (a good sign?). If I bind it correctly and don’t seed that much, will I be safe using that, in matter of leaking my own ip and then companies sue me? Thanks in advance 🤩

At one point, and I don't know why, I had amazing speeds with AirVPN for 10 min, only on Deluge and nothing else. I thought I had found the answer but nope, a half hour later I couldn't get anything to download anymore. I have not been able to repeat that success again. And to be very clear, despite wanting this for movies and TV shows, my test torrents are linux distributions and public domain stuff

I was pleasently surprised by the speeds. My direct to ISP specs are 8 ms latency, 330 Mbps down, 17 Mbps up. With Express if I picked the geographically closest server I could get the latency down to about 25 ms, about 270 Mbps down, and 14 Mbps up. I'm totally good with that

Don’t use ExpressVPN for torrenting. Just not worth the cost, and there’s no pf anyways.
