Free ProtonVPN doesn't allow torrents/P2P. You shouldn't have any problems with a paid account though.

Yeah but how do they block it? Can you just change your port and be good? Or is it about destination blacklist? Or traffic inspections?

It doesn't help that most people are so enslaved by iOS restrictions on third-party apps that they have a panic attack at the thought of downloading anything outside of an official App Store.

According to their site, it's traffic inspection ("This firewall uses a module which checks for torrents fingerprint in the packet".)

it's also shit. I'm on free and every once in a while it thinks I'm running a torrent or something else p2p (I don't).
and don't get me started on nerfing the free tier more and more, now with mobile-tier throttling as well.

What do you mean by services? Provider or Indexer?
ETA:
Newshosting (Omicron backbone) has a decent offer on. As for indexers NZBGeek is alright.

My main provider is Eweka too, but outside of Black Friday deals there are much cheaper options that are good enough.

Probably. I pay something like $36/year for Eweka. I know prices have gone up since I subscribed, though. That's true of quite a few providers, actually.

The very short version is:
Provider - this is the service you pay for that gives you access to the files you download. There are a few main providers called Backbones and the majority of companies just resell access. You want something from either Omicron (like the link I put above) or UsenetExpress as they are the biggest with the best access. There is a lot more to it but that is the simple view.
Indexer - this is where you get the .nzb file that gives you the address where the files you want to download are stored.
You need both in order to make use of Usenet for downloading stuff.

well that is not scammy at all, as i though that the number in the higher font would be roughly what i'd be paying first.
as it is i'll have to wait for payday, though I'll be doing better once I'm working again

It's Usenet. They're all a little scammy.
If you're looking for an indexer, NZB Planet is not the best one, but it's an OK one and has free trial accounts.
Usenet is great for three reasons:
1) Connecting to the indexer is encrypted over https, and most Usenet providers provide encrypted connections. So unlike torrents, your ISP can't track what you're downloading. No VPN is needed.
2) Traffic is one way. The reason people get dragged into court and have to pay out to copyright holders is because Torrents also upload the content you are downloading. The argument is each person who downloaded a portion of the file from your was a potential sale lost, so if you connect to a popular torrent and seed to thousands of leechers, they argue you costed them tens of thousands of dollars.
3) Usenet is so obtuse, normies will never figure it out, so it's off the radar. I don't even think it works on phones.

Ugh, I guess that's why I kept my PC Money card. Every site thinks it's a normal MasterCard but it's a debit card.

I want to pirate photoshop without having to worry about malware or sketchy genkey programs. How do I go about this?
Library Genesis (Libgen) is down for me. Getting errors out the ass regardless of location. I haven't had to use it for a while but it appears these problems have materialized quite recently. Hopefully it's not on its way out.
