    …and if you want to torrent then you need a respectable peer-to-peer VPN service like ProtonVPN

        Mullvad is no longer ideal for torrenting because they discontinued port forwarding. Airvpn is a good alternative that still provides port forwarding.

          The topic is privacy, torrents are not very private to begin with, and Mullvad uses disk-less servers and you can pay with cash.
