How to Add UTorrent to NordVPN

Getting torrented is probably the worst thing that can happen to you. Your download will be interrupted numerous times as your connection is intermittently dropped. You’ll have to wait for speeds that are barely tolerable, wasting tons of your time. If you’re reading this, I assume you’re already aware of the perils of torrenting.

With the right VPN, though, all that can happen to you is that your internet connection will be shifted to another server, which has faster speeds. So instead of getting interrupted by technical errors, you’ll get interrupted by nature — like rain, wind, or sudden stops at red lights.

The Basics Of Adding Torrents To Your NordVPN Connection

To get started, you’ll need to install the VPN software on your devices. Once you’ve done that, it’s time to log in to your NordVPN account and download the file that enables uTorrent on their servers. You’ll also need to accept the terms and conditions, just to make sure you’re not accidentally committing software piracy.

Now that you’ve got everything set up, it’s time to get a VPN plan from NordVPN and get torrenting! There’s a few different ways to do this, so let’s get into it.

The Classic Way

You can open your VPN app, choose your server, and click the option to start a ‘Free account’. If you’re looking for top speed and privacy, the Classic option is your best bet.

You’ll then be presented with a log in screen. Just plug in your email and password, and you’re good to go.

Now that you’re connected, you can use the VPN to navigate the web privately and speed up your downloads. You won’t be able to keep up with popular streaming services, but you’ll at least be able to keep up with the smallest ones.

The Manual Way

If you’re not the type of person who wants to hand-pick your VPN servers, you can always do it manually. For this method, you’ll need to have a look at the NordVPN website and see which servers they offer for certain regions. Once you’ve found a suitable server, copy and paste the IP address into your browser’s address bar.

You’ll then be presented with a login screen. Just plug in your email and password, and you’re good to go.

Now that you’re connected, it’s time to use the VPN to browse the web privately. Remember: you’re not using the ‘autoproxy’ settings, so your exit route is always going to be through their servers.

You can use this method if you’re using a public Wi-Fi connection at a cafe or airport. Remember that you won’t have the best experience when using this method because you’re dependent on the service’s goodwill for your security and privacy.

The Mobile Way

People often use their mobile devices to access the web these days. So it only makes sense that we’d want to take advantage of this and get torrenting while we’re online. To do this, you’ll need to have a look at their mobile website and see which applications they offer for certain platforms. Once you’ve found a suitable app, follow the on-screen instructions to add it to your account. Once added, you’ll be able to use the app to access the internet through a VPN and get torrenting!

Beyond The Basics

With any VPN, you’ll want to pay attention to the ‘Beyond The Basics’ section of their website. This is where they outline all of the features of the service and what you get for free. This is especially important if you’re planning on using a public Wi-Fi connection or an unsecured connection at home. Keep an eye out for this because it’ll help you determine whether or not this VPN is right for your needs.

NordVPN offers a few different pricing plans, so take your time figuring out which one is right for you. While they do offer a free account with some limitations, these limitations aren’t ideal if you’re planning on using the internet frequently. Another important factor to consider is whether or not you’ll need a VPN for your Android or iOS device. Most people use their mobile devices more than their desktop computers, so it follows that they’d want to use a VPN on their smartphone just to keep everything secure while they’re online. If you’re using a public Wi-Fi connection at a coffee shop, you should look into getting a VPN for your mobile device. This way, even if the service drops your connection, you’ll still be able to access the web privately through a different connection.

Speaking of coffee shops, let’s talk about a problem many people experience when using public Wi-Fi connections at coffee shops. Most coffee shops serve food, which means the Wi-Fi is probably connected to the restaurant’s network. When this happens, your VPN connection will be interfered with, causing slowdowns and often times disconnects. The best way to avoid this is to bring your own coffee mug and use it during your coffee shop visit. This is because restaurant Wi-Fi is frequently switched on and off, which can disrupt your VPN connection. So by using a coffee mug, you’ll ensure that your internet connection will always be stable and faster than most coffee shops’ Wi-Fi. This also makes it easier to prevent eavesdropping when you’re doing online shopping or banking via the internet. Many coffee shops offer ‘pay as you go’ Wi-Fi so you never have to worry about your connection being cut off unexpectedly because the network is overloaded. This is why it’s important to pay attention to any advice or warnings the VPN company gives you about using their service in certain locations or on certain networks. If you do decide to use their service in an area where it’s not recommended, at least you’ll be aware of the consequences. This is a far better situation than getting a nasty surprise when you log in to your account and find out your internet connection has been terminated unexpectedly. Not only is this frustrating, but it could also put your privacy and security at risk. So keep all of this in mind, and you’re sure to have a smooth and enjoyable experience when using torrenting through NordVPN.
