qbittorrent is still regarded as independent and safe, I think.

https://www.qbittorrent.org/

I’m still using it happily on windows/linux.

Don’t forget your vpn!

That brings me to the next thing: Taking VPN suggestions. What's the best? I like secure.

Edited to remove being a moron.

Mullvad. The only VPN company I actually trust.

Then you probably don't want a free service that costs money to run where they can only make money by converting most users to paid or monetizing your information in a country where you are unlikely to have an attorney whilst operating what amounts to a honeypot for every government on earth.

That said protonvpn seems reputable

It's important though that Mullvad doesn't do port forwarding; you won't be able to seed effectively

I pay for proton. It works. I’m not as security conscious as I should be but it’s pretty much a set and forget thing aside from changing ports.

Proton VPN has port forwarding that lets you seed torrents.
