Hey people, I'm writting from France and as you might know, a new anti-piracy law has been approved.
That's why I'm looking for a fast, reliable VPN service to cover my tracks.
I have 15$ a month to spend.
Thanks all

swissvpn.com or relakks.com, each $5 per month.

verify that your vpn is always enabled with http://checkmytorrentip.com

is relakks really fast?
I'd like no loss on my download speed, which is about 12000kbps

Try to find a VPN which offers a private IP address. Not a shared IP/IP range. If you use a shared addres, some cheater/scammer/trader scum using the same VPN service might get caught and then that IP will be banned on some of your trackers.

This happened to the popular Ivacy VPN service a couple of months back. Most private trackers don't like shared proxies anyway, it's against their rules.

Speed depends on where the VPN is situated. For you, don't get a VPN situated in the US, Russia/Swiss might be fast enough but one in France or somewhere nearby will be the fastest obviously.

With $15/month you should be able to find what you're after.

bonne chance :D

anyone has tried https://www.cryptocloud.com/ ?
it costs 17$ a month, but it looks top notch

Only if you're using a private tracker. Doesn't matter for public trackers.

>costs 17$ a month

Anything that costs $17 a month is all from the same company, baneki.com. They have the identical service under many different names (goldens.com, torrentfreedom, etc.)

Just signed up with CIENEN (http://www.cienen.com) - $14.95mo they offer VPN with dedicated IP's in UK, USA and CAN..I do take a hit on speed as I am on West Coast USA and have a UK Dedi IP..

My usual cable connection tests out at about 15-17 Mbit/s and with the VPN, hits between 1.5-3 Mbit/s - Not very scientific results, just running speedtest.net..


I also had, TORRENT FREEDOM (http://www.torrentfreedom.com/)as above, which is another Baneki outfit running sister to CryptoCloud service, supposedly optimized and dedicated to p2p traffic. Offers GeoChoice VPN service from NL, UK and USA...$17mo

I noticed some drop in speed but it was a while ago and I only used it for a month so I don't remember details..FYI, They state that because they offer choice in the use of TCP vs UDP protocalls they in effect offer permanent IP's but that they find UDP connections are much faster..

Make of it what you will..personally I like having a permanent, dedicated IP myself..Here's the thread:

What about here mate: https://www.feralhosting.com/plans

From a £10 you can have a 110GB seedbox and VPN, I have a Power slot with them and use VPN and must say the service is top notch!

The box I have is in France giving a French IP Address through VPN so you shouldn't loose out on speed :)

I think you will need to email them or go on their IRC channel to see when they have slots available.

When I ordered with them I had my login details within 30mins and was up and running!

I had a bit of trouble setting up VPN at first (my fault) but by going on their active IRC channel I got it sorted easy. There is loads of help on there with setting anything additional up, rutorrent I would highly recommend :)

Speed wise it's difficult to call due to variations but from memory I have had download speeds around 13mb and upload 1-2mb, must say I don't pay loads of attention to it as everything downloads as quck as you would want.

I don't work for them by the way I have just had experience with different providers in the past and this companies customer service is second to none :thumbsup:

To be totally honest I would need to have a look next time I have something seeding heavily to check for you.

Best bet is to sign up for a month and see how you get on, you will have a seedbox, vpn and more if you want to set it up, if your not happy after a month cancel it!

I'm sure you will for the money mate, let me know if I can help any further cheers :beer:
