Can you recommend a decent VPN? Paid or free, I'm ignorant on the subject.
Neither Mullvad nor iVPN are offering port forwarding so neither will be ideal for torrenting.
Mullvad does port forward
They ended it July 1st.
Not anymore. As of May 29th, "[n]ew port forwards will no longer be supported, and existing ports will be removed 2023-07-01"--meaning by now, no port forwarding is supported.
Can someone speak more to this distinction between VPN for torrenting vs security? Does one come at the expense of the other?
A VPN can offer some security for either. Any way, yiu depend on the provider to forward your traffic and not reveal who you are.
A good VPN for torrenting would be AirVPN, as they offer port forwarding.
