    Nord definitely is popular but it is not generally regarded as the best choice due to concerns around controversy from a year ago.

    I see a lot of people recommend Mullvad but personally I can't comment on it because I haven't used it, although I'm planning on switching when my PIA subscription ends. When it comes to VPNs though it's important to remember that they are not a one stop shop for privacy on the internet even if their ads make it seem that way.

    However if you're just trying to torrent just find a reputable one with no logs and bittorrent support and you'll be good lol.
