Two Ways to Protect Your France Traffic

SOCKS5 or WireGuard VPN — your choice

Both route your torrent traffic through our France servers. Pick the one that fits your workflow — or use both.

Option 1

SOCKS5 Gateway

Secure only your torrent client through the France gateway. Other apps keep their normal connection. Perfect if you already have a VPN.

App-only protection — other traffic unaffected

Works alongside any existing VPN

Auto-configure via Proxy Setup Tool

Managed credentials — auto-generated per profile

Lightweight — minimal performance overhead

Best for: Split-tunnel users, existing VPN users, lightweight setup

Option 2 — Most Popular

WireGuard VPN + Port Forward

Full-PC protection — choose any France city node. IPs with pre-configured port forwarding — built for seeders who need maximum ratio performance.

Full system protection — all traffic secured

IPs with pre-configured ports

Kill switch — traffic stops if VPN drops

France servers — frequently asked questions

Is France subject to GDPR?

Which French city should I choose?

Roubaix is best for users in northern France, the UK, Belgium, and Germany — it sits on one of Europe's largest internet exchanges. Lyon is better for users in southeastern France, Switzerland, and Italy, offering lower latency to the Mediterranean region.

Is the Lyon server unique?
