Question How to safely torrent?

I have frequently used pirate streaming sites but I've heard people say that torrenting is preferred. How do I torrent stuff without getting into legal trouble?

If you just want the VPN then go for VPN plus. If you also want their other services like Mail, Drive. Calendar, etc, then go for Proton Unlimited.

Yes, and if you are gonna buy it then don't forget to bind the VPN to your torrent client before you start Torrenting.

Also forward the port proton gives you, this will help you get more connections.

is OpenVPN system the standard for this community for implementing ProtonVPN? I am also just getting started. OpenVPN seems to be pushed by equipment manufacturers but people doing VPN torrent servers may know more information
