  • This is one of the top 10 dumbest statements I’ve ever seen on the internet and shows a total and complete lack of understanding what a VPN is, and what it does.

    Well then explain me why I would need a VPN in the year 2025 with encrypted connections and HSTS being the norm

    There are currently 2-3 countries where torrenting IP isn’t illegal. Unless you have a VPN in one of these countries, there are no conditions where its “allowed,” because it’s entirely illegal. Even if it’s not expressly outlined in a services TOS it’s still illegal, and therefore not allowed. Even if they expressly permit it, it’s still illegal, and therefore not allowed.

    It’s illegal, but in practice not enforceable if you hide between a VPN in another jurisdiction.
    So in practice you can do it and nobody gives a shit.
