I’m not sure that they do this, because it shows the US ip seeding when checking the torrent IP. They have also said in the past that they don’t and just allow P2P on their US servers.
If they were routing the p2p traffic, wouldn’t the IP be from the CA server they are routing p2p to as that checks the ip of torrents from actually downloading a file.
Some people might be comfortable with that, I’m not so sure… I mean, at-least they’re upfront about it…
You could also just use a good US based provider like PIA and use their US servers or CA servers to torrent like all providers should do as torrents in the US isn’t illegal and isn’t a banned protocol. I feel like if you are going to be a no log VPN provider, you should allow torrents on the US servers. If you don’t than it’s censorship and no better than your own ISP.
This. Ipleak should be able to detect that the IP for HTTP requests and BitTorrent requests is different. They must re-route all traffic, or none, because they are clearly not doing it selectively. And I doubt they are using only Canadian servers. That is to say, they are not re-routing anything.
I’m going to stand by my recommendation of them since they publish all legal requests that they’re allowed to publish, and have a warrant canary for everything else. But I certainly appreciate your reasoning, and always I’m happy to see information like you provided in your link. Thank you for explaining your position!
