I’ve noticed many people promote VPNs for torrenting to evade legal troubles in some places. But I wonder how do VPN companies get away with legal complaints? Especially if their servers are located in Germany or Japan, where piracy is heavily penalized.

p.s. I have never used a VPN for piracy, and I have never received any DMCA emails.

You can be ordered to log however.

Zero-knowledge protocols are important.

I have never heard of a government forcing a company to implement logging. Which one did?
