To put it short, can I use ProtonVPN free for XDCC? I don’t want to be handed out a nice DMCA letter as I don’t manage the ISP. I would get a paid VPN but I’m currently paying off student debt, maybe I’ll do it later. But for now, is ProtonVPN free an okay VPN?

Many thanks in advance.

The paid version is basically enough for everything. Proton is really good and so far never had any data leaks or shit like that... UNLIKE NORD VPN... who put more money in advertising than in security, furthermore they likely sold data...

That sounds reassuring, thanks! I’ll have a go at XDCC with ProtonVPN later.

Go visit ipleak.net, if you see your own IP and ISP then there are leaks.
