In our ExpressVPN torrenting guide, we\u2019ll introduce ExpressVPN – one of the most capable VPN providers on the market – and how you can use it to torrent. Alongside giants like NordVPN and CyberGhost, ExpressVPN provides a much-needed layer of privacy in an increasingly dangerous online world. VPNs encrypt your internet connection and hide your IP and location from intrusive websites, Orwellian governments, and malicious users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many users utilize a VPN when torrenting, as downloading copyrighted content can cause legal troubles and even lead to jail time. We\u2019ll examine whether ExpressVPN is a good choice for torrenting and how to utilize it safely for that purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is ExpressVPN Good for Torrenting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use ExpressVPN for torrenting, we first need to know this provider is a solid choice for torrent users. The first thing you\u2019re asking is probably: \u201cDoes ExpressVPN allow torrenting through its servers?\u201d The answer is yes – you can freely download files with torrent clients through ExpressVPN servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike most of its competitors, ExpressVPN doesn\u2019t have specifically designated P2P servers you have to use to be able to download torrents. Instead, any server in its 3,000-strong network can do the trick. This makes ExpressVPN and torrenting a dream combo, as you\u2019re not forced to choose from a limited selection of servers if you wish to torrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason why ExpressVPN is excellent for VPN torrenting is due to the fact that all of its pricing plans come with unlimited bandwidth. If there were bandwidth caps in place, you\u2019d be severely limited in how much you can actually download with this VPN within a specific time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is ExpressVPN safe for torrenting? After all, the prime reason to use ExpressVPN when torrenting is to preserve your privacy. Therefore, it\u2019s crucial that the VPN provider keeps no logs<\/a> or provides any identifiable user data to any institution or third party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, ExpressVPN is headquartered in the British Virgin Islands, outside of the Fourteen Eyes zones<\/a>, meaning it does not have to share any data with any country\u2019s intelligence bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, ExpressVPN keeps no logs, and the British Virgin Islands have very privacy-friendly data-retention laws. If you\u2019re looking into how to torrent safely, ExpressVPN is certainly one way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torrenting with ExpressVPN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that we know ExpressVPN is both safe and suitable for torrenting, let\u2019s look at how to use it. The good news is, ExpressVPN requires very little tech knowledge to set up. You just need to head over to its website, choose a pricing plan, and download the client for your OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start downloading torrents, you\u2019ll need a torrent client, too. ExpressVPN recommends using \u00b5Torrent, but any trusted client is fine, like BitTorrent<\/a> or Vuze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The setup for ExpressVPN torrenting is pretty simple: Fire up the VPN and connect to any server on the list. You\u2019ll want to connect to the closest one to avoid speed losses. Before you start downloading torrents, ExpressVPN\u2019s online privacy and security checker can tell you whether your IP is truly hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also recommended turning on the kill switch, which will automatically sever your connection to the internet to avoid privacy leaks if the VPN stops working. This also alleviates the need for the Bind-IP option on torrent clients themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all the torrent VPN setup you need to enjoy ExpressVPN torrenting freely. Since there are no bandwidth limits, you can download as much as you want. Using a VPN instead of a free proxy – which many torrent clients offer – is vastly superior, as proxies do not encrypt your connections and generally lack the advanced security and privacy features VPNs have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have ExpressVPN already, you may get an annual subscription with three months for free. The offer is risk-free since the company offers a\u00a030-day money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
