I may go for short term work in either South Korea or Saudi for a few months. Does anybody have any idea, how safe it is to use a VPN as a foreigner in these countries? Worse case scenario, can I use a VPN in a Azure VM and scp torrent downloaded files or something?
i know people who openly use torrents when they’re abroad. As long as you remember to turn it off before going back home, it’s not your IP that’s logged.
if it’s to hide what you’re downloading from Saudis, because they make patties from journalists or jail activists or behead hundreds of people every year, then maybe you should wait a month to get out to download them
Its mostly just anime, movies, TV and game torrents. I use VPN to pass geo-blocking as well.
