It depends for me its safe for you i dont know. If you search about using vpn for private torrent you can not find much info. You should understand vpn and private torrentting seperatly than you will decide it is safe for you or not.

I use BitDefender VPN when go into tracker sites and running my leech. Kinda forgot to turn on when I came on this site the first times 🤣😂

My choice is definitely ProtonVPN for a long long time. I've never had a problem with torrent trackers. If VPN provider is not based in Switzerland, that's a huge no no for me. Btw that's a nice list of VPN's

VPNs are still very popular nowadays, but from my own experience, they won't keep you 100% anonymous, + VPNs can sometimes still be detected and blocked. I had such cases when, with VPN, I couldn't access some sites to get some needed trackers.

I switched to using individual proxies. I got an individual proxy for $ 1.5$ from proxys.io, set it up in my browser, and now I have access to all sites, and it still keeps me anonymous. A cheap and easy method.
