while I do not know anything about torrenting. "mullvad" is a highly recommended vpn providers with a strong emphasis on privacy.

This will be an unpopular answer but I use Nordvpn mainly because during Black Friday sales you can get it essentially for free using a cash back portal. The start of the sale last year, which I missed, was offering over 100% cash back. They’d pay you to use it!

Others are better but if the level of protection you’re looking for is “Comcast stop sending me piracy warnings” this’ll work.

I'm also a Nord user since it's super simple and effective. Paid less than $100 CAD for 2 years which I think is decent. I'm open to alternatives for a noob though.

RealDebrid and/or Proton VPN

I have a lifetime subscription for Windscribe, so I've just been using that with no issues for years. I've recommended it to some other friends and they've been fine.

I also pay for Proton services, so I have ProtonVPN, but I've yet to try it for torrenting.

Astrill. It's not cheap, but it's excellent. And works in China and other countries with strong internet blocking capabilities.

Mullvad or IVPN. Some VPNs like Perfect Privacy do leak your IP via DHT and other torrent features, even when full lockdown mode is on. You can search 'torrent leak test' to verify yours doesn't. I found out with a 2nd DMCA warning from my ISP.

Private Internet Access. Been using it for probably 10 years at this point, never had a single issue. Their "no logging" claim has been tested successfully in court.
