Hi Guys.

Do you need a VPN with a private tracker?

As my VPN blocks all ports so i always show up as non-connectable. which of course can make it hard to keep up a ratio.

Any comments would be helpful... thanks

Private internet access is one of the recommended vpn providers that works with private trackers. You can forward your ports in your router. Check below

Code:

Thanks, I will look into this more then, as i have been using BlackVPN for some years now and to be honest they have never let me down when it comes to steady connections, their only 'downfall' is the block all ports.
I have also bought PUREVPN with Firewall, yet the connection is flaky, every 2-3 days i have to keep checking on it to ensure its up, also i could every get the port forwarding setup correctly even with the help of their tech support, so i stopped using it, even though i think i have 1-2 yrs left on the service.

thanks again

If it's copyright complaints you're worried about, then no you don't need a VPN.

Are you sure your VPN provider doesn't support port-forwarding though?

Ditch Purevpn and get Private Internet Access, NordVPN or Mullvad.

PIA is both cheap and good

In the UK, some isp's block them. Can easily be worked around with a vpn.

Some trackers disallow VPNs and you're likely going to get banned if you use VPN for site login.
IMHO, it's always best to use VPN when torrenting.
There are many other ways to increase your ratio. If your ratio is not good, try another way to boost it up.
