Reading https://overengineer.dev/blog/2019/04/08/very-precarious-narrative.html explains vulnerabilities to VPNs. I was aware of several of them, but some I wasn’t.
Are VPNs still useful for torrenting?

If you’re using a reputable VPN and properly compartmentalizing your activities then a VPN is great. Don’t torrent on the same VPN server that you use for daily use. They caught pompompoopi partly because he forgot to enable his vpn a couple of times and leaked his private IP as well as using the same VPN server for illegal activities and his google accounts.
The best method is definitely to have separate devices with different VPNs and different purposes for each device. It’s a lot of work though.
