while I do not know anything about torrenting. "mullvad" is a highly recommended vpn providers with a strong emphasis on privacy.
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.
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.
Google Fiber.
They don't give a fuck.
Astrill. It's not cheap, but it's excellent. And works in China and other countries with strong internet blocking capabilities.
Is a VPN even worth it for that use case? A seedbox won't cost that much more, esp. if you factor in electricity costs from keeping your machine running. And getting to 1.0 seed ratio is also much easier.
Do you have an off prem seed box then? Mine is in my home lab but still needs to be routed through a vpn
