Hello! I recently set up my first home server, and would like to set up qbittorrent on it. I tried using protonVPN, which is what I use on desktop, but got rate limited because torrenting on the free plan is not allowed. What do you think of hide.me vpn? it has a CLI linux version, I think I can install it inside the docker container and set up a killswitch (that should be built in? at least that's what they say) to torrent safely.

I know paid VPNs are better and also pretty cheap, but I cannot afford one right now. Any tips?

is payment info and email address.

I think you still dont get it. Most poeple in this community pirate, which is illegal in most contries.

Most people here want privacy, meaning a vpn that doesnt give away payment info, and other PII. Because of that, there are very few safe vpn's out there.
