NordVPN has worked for me in terms of working, but within the past two months they started having annoying pop-ups advertising their other services. Every day. It's bugging me.
iirc there's a few that offer a limited amount of data per month and it works fine if you don't do a lot of downloading. but you will wanna spring for a paid plan if you torrent on a regular basis. i think i paid like.....80 dollars for a 2-year plan with unlimited data
about the only two things ISPs care about with torrenting is if you're torrenting something that's super new and hot off the presses that The Big Corporations are breathing down their neck about (so Disney and occasional Dreamworks stuff)
Actually that can be bad advice re: torrenting because some of the most aggressive fuckers with the legal threats and the warnings are small film studios for movies nobody's ever fucking heard of
I don't know Windscribe, but that looks like a browser extension to me? I wouldn't expect that to be able to VPN-ize your traffic that isn't in the browser
I think so. The browser extension would be for masking specifically that browser's traffic. You want the standalone windows client which will take ALL of your machine's traffic and pipe it through the VPN's servers
In their podcast ads they try to pitch themselves as privacy tools and they DO protect against casual surveillance. But they also open up a big privacy hole, which is: the VPN itself, which gets to see every connection you make through it (although not its contents as long as it goes through HTTPS).
2. Start Deluge
3. Close Deluge
4. Turn the VPN off

Also they won't protect against, like, a police surveillance warrant, but I assume you aren't planning to use it for Actual Crimes.
