Also what's the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming
I'm more interested in paying for a VPN that isn't a subscription. Are there any good options?
VPN is one of the few "services" I'm happy to pay a subscription for. Because it's actually a service with ongoing costs.
Mullvad VPN
You prepay for it using digital currency, it's superfast, you can use it on all of your devices, you're spoiled for choice on how to use it, and there's a ton of options for location.
Without a doubt it's the best pay VPN that I've ever used
I switched to Mullvad after PIA got bought by that spyware company.
They're great.
I got a lifetime subscription to keepsolid VPN a few years ago £12 for up to 5 devices, figured if I got a year out of it then that's my money back, still going great now for me. Occasionally they do these lifetime subscription options for bargain price on stacksocial which is where I got mine. Worth keeping an eye out. There are better featured ones out there but all I want is something to funnel my Torrents and indexers through and this works fine on 150mb broadband I have with no speed drop.

Not sure what you want here. A VPN which you can cancel each month? I just pay the Mullvad people some money in advance and get x months of VPN for it. Is that a subscription?
