Using a VPN to torrent is a no-brainer and legal gray area, so which is best?

There can be legal issues with torrenting and P2P file sharing, but for legitimate users, these torrenting VPNs are best for supporting secure downloads.

In our review of the top affordable VPNs on the market, AtlasVPN scored highly. 

The company implements a no-logs policy and features are on offer including a safety shield, multi-hopping, a kill switch -- which prevents you from inadvertently switching to insecure Wi-Fi points if your connection drops -- and compatibility with major operating systems. 

Cheaper VPN options tend to skim on security, but in this case, AtlasVPN completes independent security audits. These audits are designed to find existing vulnerabilities alongside areas of improvement. The only caveat we've found is that server and country options are somewhat limited. 

AtlasVPN does offer a free VPN plan, but it is data capped.
