Does Proton VPN actually work?

I wanna download a few things from fitgirl, but worried because I already got a notice. So does the free version of Proton actually work for that or am I better off getting Nord or Express?

Doesn’t matter which brand all free vpn doesn’t help you avoid getting detected, at most a free vpn only helps unblock region locked things and isp blocked sites. You need a paid vpn for that and nord is the most recommended if im not mistaken. But you’ll need to bind it to your torrent app first.

proton doesn’t like p2p and will disconnect if they know you are torrenting

Ok, how exactly do I do that? And can that be done on bit torrent?

this might help
