      You also need a kill switch. Kill switch will kill your torrent client network if VPN fails. Your home IP can leak if you have bad kill switch or if you dont have one at all.

      Kill switch can be integrated in VPN client or set in torrent client, but probably best to use docker container gluetun and torrent client that runs behind it. Whatever you use check is it good kill switch

      VPN is fine on its own if it is configured correctly. There are websites that will test your traffic to check and you should use one before seeding on a public tracker for the first time. A common mistake is a DNS leak.
