MODERATORS
The two other responses you've gotten are good regarding Mullvad VPN (also my personal recommendation) and the service real-debrid.
If you're not going the torrenting route and are just looking to snag a few individual roms, you can just go to direct download sites (DDL) without a vpn/debrid service. Check the emulation megathread that I wrote for information on sourcing roms from DDL sites.
To the network interface question: when you start up a vpn client on your computer it makes a virtual network adapter that traffic runs through. Binding qbittorrent (the pretty much universally recommended modern torrenting client)'s network interface to your vpn adapter (under settings -> advanced -> network interface) means that in the catastrophic event where your vpn crashes while you're torrenting something there will be no ip leak (qbittorrent won't failover to whatever network adapter is working successfully) and there will be no data in/data out (and thus no pesky letter from your internet provider about copyright infringement).
Let me know if you have other questions- glad to help.
