Hi, I just want to ask, if the Psiphon vpn is good for you know…PROTECTING ME FROM FBI KNOCKING ON MY DOOR, or i must use some better vpn, i just want to be safe while downloading and dont be afraid of FBI KNOCKING ON MY DOOR

No one’s ever heard of it. Use Mullvad.

The FBI don’t come to your door. Media companies scour torrents for IP addresses and make claims to your ISP who in turn contact you.
Use a VPN and follow these steps to stay safe.
*1 Never have the torrent program start with Windows.
*2 Always have the VPN on before the torrent program
*3 Always turn the torrent program off before the VPN.
*4.Check the Task Manager to be sure the torrent app is
off before turning off the VPN.
Never heard of it. I can’t recommend Mullvad enough though.
If the earlier post is accurate then the answer is no
Dont use psiphon for torrent… They’re a free vpn and usually sell your data…
https://www.top10vpn.com/reviews/psiphon/ not a good review, also with most free Vpn’s they are free because they log data in 1 way or another or have slow speed or a very low bandwidth cap, so the trick is finding 1 thats free and does not do any of that and also does not care what you do with it.
Dewvpn (https://www.dewvpn.com/) its been around for at least 2 year but the surprising thing is nobody seems to talk about it or may even know it exists “i found it by accident when i was getting annoyed with tunnel and others” as it does not need to advertise to keep itself free and instead rely’s on word of mouth and also other company’s can not make money off the back of it with bundling etc because its 100% free and always has been and has all the power of a full blown cash paid for product but with 0 monthly subscription or 1 years costs.
It does not log your data and has 2 stages of how it works which i will explain in a moment, there is no bandwidth cap at all unlike other free ones ive used and you have loads of country’s to choose from.
It seems to be happy with most firewalls when you install it Except for Tinyfirwall and it’s clones where you can just add it to the whitelist or create a acceptation for it to work and you may have to do this again if it updates as Tiny is good but a pain in the arse lol and has the same problem with discord live updates as well.
Now as i mentioned it has 2 stages and this is why i like it as it was designed with 2 power levels especially with the Torrent user in mind.
Level 1 mode: This is full blown mode running from you clicking your desktop icon which you do for the first ever install or to select country or to be 100% vpn covered no matter what your doing on the Pc etc.
Level 2 mode: This is the one i really like, after you have installed and used the program the next time you reboot your system up Dewvpn sits quietly in the background and watches for your torrent software download list if running and then auto kicks in when needed in low mode and just covers the downloads and nothing else meaning you can still use the web as normal or play games and it does not effect your speed "subject to a good internet connection speed of course " and you know your still safe.
I’ve tested it on a old i3 PC with 2mb net speed while torrenting 25 gig up and down and playing a game all at the same time.
What this means for example is say you have a entire series you want to download but your vpn in full power mode slows down your connection using utorrentweb for example, so you just select what you want to download and start it under full power mode 1 and then reboot the pc and mode 2 takes over once booted up and does all your up and downing loading in the background while you get on with things and you will get a popup notification when downloading a torrent has finished at normally the maximum speed of what ever your net connection is rather than the lag.
So give it a try and enjoy the speed and safety and a free vpn.
P.s. the tinyfirwall i mentioned earlier is also 100% free and very easy to use and setup.
Pss. I’ve not tried this with a streaming setup as i only download things and cant see the point of streaming if you cant keep the items or have that option also if you re-watch the stream you may as well have downloaded it in the first place with no internet interruptions or more data off your monthly limit if you have one but most connections these days are unlimited and even mobile contracts are 60 gig plus standards these day.
Look at their privacy policy
While a user’s device is tunneled through Psiphon, we collect some information about how they’re using it. We record what protocol Psiphon used to connect, how long the device was connected, how many bytes were transferred during the session, and what city, country, and ISP the connection came from.
An example of user activity data might be: At a certain time a user connected from New York City, using Comcast, and transferred 100MB from youtube.com and 300MB in total.
They also share “aggregated data”
Or just don’t do all of that and just bind your torrent client’s network interface to your vpn…
ok, so are normal cheap vpn enough or i need some better vpn like cyberghost or norvpn ?
I put these here for the noobs who can barely find settings in apps.
