    If you don’t have a port forwarded for your torrent client, then only the people that do will be able to download from you. Unfortunately, most VPN providers don’t support port forwarding.

          And AirVPN. They also have the most stable servers in my experience. With other providers I need to change the wireguard config I use for my qbittorrent docker every few months because they get painfully slow, with AirVPN the same server stays usable forever in my experience

          TorGuard VPN also works somewhat fine in my experience, even if setting up port forwarding with custom wireguard config is a bit complicated there, but they frequently have insanely good sales, and if you buy a plan on sale you can renew it for the sale price after it ends, instead of having to renew for full price or having to wait for the next sale

          I am not sure if I would trust either of these providers if I was doing something really illegal and trying to hide from the government \ law enforcement, but for something like torrenting they should provide more than enough protection against copyright notices
