Hello,

reading about the topic I personally wondered about how people can use VPNs like ProtonVPN for torrenting which isn’t legal in some countries, without ProtonVPN and other providers getting in trouble.

Of course they don’t log and don’t have data about which user is accessing what so they can’t hand out data. But why don’t law enforcements force them to block specific traffic and thus hindering people from using it for pricacy?

    law enforcement is exactly that… enforcement.
    If there are no laws in place to force providers to do that, it cant be done via these means.
    And if you cannot enforce because the provider is outside the jurisdiction, then you cant either.

    And if you start forcing blocks, the users will adapt by either changing provider or simply evading the block.
