Mullvad or Proton

Note that Mullvad no longer allows port forwarding, which can make it harder to torrent effectively

Is it really that bad? I haven't had any issues torrenting stuff with Mullvad, although I usually don't torrent files above like 20GB

It reduces your available peers. You can't connect to other people with closed ports, one side needs to be open.

It isn't a huge deal with popular torrents, but it can cause problems with unpopular/old stuff.
