I thought about using OpenVPN for piracy, since it’s open source and can be easily set up on Arch Linux. Does anyone know about the quality of it or if I should use another VPN?

That is needlessly complicated. Just force qbittorrent to only use your VPN network interface and you don’t need any of that: https://lifehacker.com/you-should-really-bind-your-vpn-to-your-torrent-client-1849779407

This has the advantage of giving you the “kill switch” feature without having to download your VPN’s proprietary app. It works with Wireguard, OpenVPN, whatever. Qbittorrent is actually one of the few clients that has this feature, one of the reasons it’s so widely recommended.

Deluge can also do this.
