How viable is torrenting on a public connection?
My options for internet connectivity are very limited. I was wondering if I could go to a library or coffee shop or wherever has a good connection and do all my downloading remotely, or if I will run into problems/restrictions.
I'm thinking they may not allow VPN's or something like that?

Its advised to use a vpn on public wifis, even if youre not torrenting. Also you could sign up for a trial and go for it to see if there are restrictions.
If they are blocking vpns you could use one that uses http or https ports, those are pratically unblockable.
If most vpn's are blocked, you could try a proxy server but the reliablity and privacy of them can be questionable.
There is also DNS tunneling, while much harder it does work ok.
Actually you can block vpns using port 443 and 80. Using a methode callesd deep packet inspection. Not something you find in a typical coffie shop. But it being practically unblockable is false. My school used to do this. So i used shadowsocks or tor with snowflake.
Yeah i know, i thought this would go into to much Detail, because, as you said, they wouldnt have that in any small shop
