Hello, I'm new to all of this. What should one be looking for in a VPN? Is there a certain VPN more people recommend than others? I guess I'm just not really sure where to start here.

You should be looking for a VPN with port forwarding support if you're going to be torrenting. Good speeds, good prices and robust privacy practices are just as important as well.

I personally switched to AirVPN after Mullvad discontinued Port Forwarding support. It fit all the criteria I was looking for, and the 20 forwarded ports are really convenient if you use more than 1 P2P program.

I've been on AirVPN for about 12 years and I've never thought of a reason to switch off of them, great features for the price

I also went for AirVPN. Supports port forwarding and IPv6.
