Is PIA SOCKS5 the best option for secure and private browsing? or How reliable is PIA SOCKS5 for torr

PIA socks5 is *okay* for lightweight torrenting, but don’t expect miracles. It’s not a VPN, so your traffic isn’t encrypted.

I’ve had zero throttling issues though, which is nice. And yeah, it hides your IP from peers—that part works.

But if you’re doing anything sketchy (not judging), maybe spring for the full VPN.
