Cost, ease of use, speed, other good features, etc.
Mullvad or Proton. IVPN is also good.
Mullvad or Proton
Note that Mullvad no longer allows port forwarding, which can make it harder to torrent effectively
Then, Proton it is
I use ProtonVPN whenever I download a lot of Linux ISOs.
ProtonVPN for port forwarding, Mullvad for easy usage (Wireguard on Linux).
I use vopono on Linux too.
ProtonVPN works great via Wiregurd on Linux as well just not through the GUI; you can download the configs and connect through terminal or other Wireguard client
Mullvad
I’ll keep saying it.
When I browse with mullvad I constantly have to verify that I’m not a bot.
That’s a good sign
Your account data is about is tangible as a fart in the wind, especially after 30 days. You can pay cash if you want.
They got rid of port forwarding unfortunately, so good luck seeding.

It isnt the best one, but its cheap, allows port forwarding and its not sketchy as far as we know
Air vpn
I use Windscribe because it’s $1/mo and I don’t care. I don’t use their software, I use the vanilla Wireguard client, and have my qBittorrent connect through that interface only.
I pay for Proton Unlimited so I use Proton VPN. Getting port forwarding to work on Linux is a bit of a hassle but they have steps on their website. It’s hardly any slower than my internet connection, but that’s because I’m on the paid servers. The free servers are rather slow. They have a graphical client for Windows and Linux.
Proton Unlimited is €12.99/month. The VPN has a good number of features and you get the whole Proton suite with it and 500GB of storage. You can pay for just the VPN which is cheaper if you don’t want the rest of Proton.
I created a script exactly for that, I’m using it for months now and it’s working fine: https://github.com/giu176/ProtonVPN-auto-NATPMP
Do you really need a VPN? What’s your country / context?
Are you aware that if you use a good private tracker (one that keeps their torrents private and has a good reputation) and configure your client to require encryption for all connections you may not need a VPN?
I went the seed box route and I’ll never go back. It’s faster and I don’t even need a stable connection. Start the download from my phone and it’s waiting for me when I get home.
RealDebrid and/or Proton VPN
ProtonVPN/Mullvad. This is the post number 288471 talking about this. Can we put it somewhere un wiki?
Google Fiber.
They don’t give a fuck.
This is a thing that story rpeats :
“Until they do.”.
Tldr?
I would go for IPVanish, Surfshark or Windscribe… Mullvad it’s a good option too, I would bypass NordVPN.
I believe Surfshark it’s the cheapest of these options.
It feels better with no condom. Private trackers have no STI’s.
