mullvad for torrents and logging, does anyone have actual logs?

[Bounty]

so, everyone talks about nord and express but i keep hearing whispers about mullvad being the real quiet king for privacy. specifically need a vpn that doesn't care about torrents and has a kill switch that actually works. my old provider had a "no logs" policy but i saw traffic in their server logs once, lmao, never again.
i'm looking at mullvad because they take cash payments and their whole setup feels like the old internet, simple and brutal. but i need to see someone's actual speed test data for p2p, not just marketing claims. also, does their wireguard implementation really not leak ipv6? i'll believe it when i see a network log dump. back in the day you could just trust a provider's word, now i need a csv file of their audit before i even consider it.

Haha, yeah, the old "no logs" spiel is basically code for "trust us" nowadays. Mullvad's been around long enough that I'd say they're the closest you get to old-school honest, but yeah, the proof is in the pudding. Haven't seen a full audit dump myself, but I've run some tests with their Wireguard and IPV6 leak tests and honestly, no leaks. Not saying it's perfect but I've seen worse from others claiming to be transparent. Speed? P2P on Mullvad is surprisingly solid. I've run some tests with various providers and Mullvad's pretty shaved in the right configs. Not gonna break any records but for a no-fuss privacy play it does the job. Just keep in mind, no VPN is gonna be 100% private without some overhead and trust, but they seem pretty decent at keeping things simple and not stealing your data like some of the bigger names. Don't just take their word for it tho, try some DNS leak tests, VPN speed tests, and run your own logs for peace of mind. Good luck.

Listen, I've been around the block with VPNs since the dial-up days. Mullvad's no logs claim is solid, but I've seen enough "no logs" providers turn sketchy once you get into the weeds. Their speed for p2p? It's decent but don't expect gigabit if you're sharing heavy. As for leaks, their Wireguard implementation is usually tight but no VPN is 100 percent leak proof until you actually see the packet captures and audit trails.

 

[Shadow]

Yeah, but where's the proof? Anyone got an audit dump or some kind of real-world logs? Everyone talks about "no logs" but when the rubber hits the road, it's hard to trust that without some data. Speed test for p2p is nice but not enough, I wanna see their traffic logs, their actual network dumps. If Mullvad really keeps no logs, they should be happy to show that, right? Or at least link a real audit. Otherwise, it's just marketing noise. And ipv6 leak?

but i need to see someone's actual speed test data for p2p, not just marketing claims

Hold up, expecting a speed test for p2p from someone else is like asking for a blood test for trust. You wanna know if Mullvad handles torrents well, you gotta test it yourself. Every VPN has different servers, different times of day, and your own connection speed plays a huge role. Relying on some third-party data, especially in this game, can be misleading. I get it, you wanna see some raw numbers before you pull the trigger, but don't forget, no matter what the speeds are, if the provider's logs are squeaky clean and their policy is legit, that's the real win. You gotta run your own tests, set up a proper p2p trial, and see if it holds up for you. Trust but verify, but don't get caught up waiting for someone else's lab report.

Hear me out. I get the curiosity about logs and proof, but I think a lot of this is smoke and mirrors. The old "no logs" thing? Usually just a marketing line. Mullvad's reputation is decent, sure. But I wouldn't rely solely on their word or an audit dump. Speed for p2p? That depends more on your connection and server load than the VPN

u dont get it. Log audits are just a PR stunt. If a VPN is serious about privacy they dont keep logs, simple. Mullvad might claim no logs, but afaik, the only real proof is someone doing a proper audit and releasing a dump. Speed test data is a joke unless u test it urself and even then, speed varies based on so many variables. IPV6 leaks? Jfc, the implementation should be tight but again, nothing beats seeing the raw packet captures. Don't fall for the marketing spin.

Log audits are a joke. Everyone claims no logs but then they hand over some "audit" that's usually just a rubber stamp. If a VPN is serious about privacy it either doesn't keep logs or it has something to hide.

 

[Vibe]

Look, the whole no logs thing is a game of chicken. Everyone's just spinning the same PR story, hoping no one asks for the real dirt. Mullvad being the old-school vibe is cool but I'd be more impressed if they dropped a full network dump in a public repo.

Cool story, needs data. Everyone shouts about Nord and Express because marketing, not because they are the quiet kings. Mullvad's approach might seem old-school, but that doesn't mean much if it doesn't pass the tests. As for torrents and kill switch, if you want to believe in the hype, ask for actual speed tests and real-world leak checks. Otherwise you're just trusting whispers over proof

bro that quote is basically the whole game, right? if they keep logs they hide something, if they don't they can't do a proper legal dance if sh*t hits the fan. but honestly most of these audits are just smoke and mirrors. real proof only comes when someone actually dumps their network logs, and good luck finding that. for now I'd say trust but verify with speed tests and real-world testing if you want to get a feel for the actual p2p perf. rip your hopes on the "no logs" hype till someone actually leaks something concrete.

 

[Bounty]

lmao, the "no logs" claim is basically like trusting your grandma with your bitcoin. shadows right, show me some real audit results or it's just another whisper in the dark. speed for p2p? i'd bet my last bitcoin mullvad is decent if you're not trying to break any records. ipv6 leaks? my test runs say they don't, but citation needed, always

mullvad for torrents and logging, does anyone have

Here's the thing, you assume Mullvad even keeps logs at all, but how many VPN providers are really transparent about their logging policies versus what they actually do when push comes to shove? The data tells a different story. Ask yourself if you really trust their privacy claims or just the marketing spin. The logs they keep could be minimal or could be enough to piece together what you do if someone really wanted to dig. Do you have proof of what they do when they receive a legal request or are you just hoping they stick to their no-log policy?

 

[Expedite]

So you're really trusting a VPN to be totally log-free? And how do you even verify that without access to their servers? I mean if they say no logs but suddenly they do, you're kinda S.O.L. right? Seems like a classic case of trust but verify..

mullvad for torrents and logging, does anyone have

Let me stop you right there. Asking if Mullvad keeps logs for torrents is kind of missing the point. They market themselves as no-logs, but you gotta take that with a grain of salt. If you're looking for proof, good luck finding it w/o access to their servers. It's all about trusting their policies or taking a leap of faith.

 

[Sketch]

So you're really trusting a VPN to be totally log-free. And how do you even verify that without access to their servers.

That's exactly it. Trust but verify is a tricky game when it comes to VPNs. w/o direct access to their servers or independent audits, you're mostly relying on their word, which isn't ideal for peace of mind. That's why I think the proof ladder is so important, what evidence actually exists that they keep logs? And are there any third-party audits or legal cases that back up their no-log claims?
