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.

i have been using their mail for a while. no fuss, straight to the point. swiss cheese engineering ftw. how do u know there isnt any data leaks ?u have any server side knowledge ?
Go visit ipleak.net, if you see your own IP and ISP then there are leaks.
totally makes senses. i hav read somewhere here also about dns leaks. ty for explaining.
That sounds reassuring, thanks! I’ll have a go at XDCC with ProtonVPN later.
Why do you need a VPN for xdcc? You are not sharing anything, and you had no way to know that something like Fast.X.2023.MULTI.2160p.WEB.H265-LOST was pirated content. All the legal letters are pursuing who was sharing something, not just downloading something
Are you sure you actually need a VPN for XDCC? In most countries that I know of, downloading pirated content isn’t technically illegal. It’s the sharing of that content (i.e. torrenting) that often is.
Anyway, the bandwith on ProtonVPN free won’t be enough to download at reasonable speeds.
