 Hu>  Hi all. Which VPN service do you use?

I use ProtonVPN. You can test their free access, their client is free
software, their customer service is knowledgeable (about GNU/Linux at least)
and the price I got was interesting (during a special pricing  period). They
are based in Switzerland, so you can P2P all you want, it's legal.
The downside? 
Your Internet throughput is going to be lower than what you get without 
ProtonVPN. Apart from that, I heard very good things about Mullvad.

I use a VPN because where I live, everyhthing is logged and kept forever 
in an "extralegal" manner, which I really don't like.

When it comes to downloading, I use IRC (just take a look at Wikipedia's
XDCC article). Low retention, but you can request stuff and usually get awesome
download speeds. Remember: copying is not stealing :)
