I’d prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I’m not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

    They are great for privacy, but for piracy, you need something that will do port forwarding. Neither proton or mullvad will do that. I have had both of those vpns.

      Proton supports port forwarding, although setup on Linux is weird.

      You also don’t need port forwarding for bittorrent. It is helpful, but I haven’t used it myself for years.
