im starting to learn and search about torrent and piracy in general, do I need a VPN even if my country does not care at all about piracy?

If you’re using one for security, Mullvad or iVPN are the two that come to mind mostly.
If you’re looking for one to torrent with there are quiet a few, but anything with port forwarding should do. Mullvad can be slower because of their extremely high level of security in general. Something like IPVanish, or NordVPN.
Also below, this is an incredibly great reference that’s continuously updated.

Neither Mullvad nor iVPN are offering port forwarding so neither will be ideal for torrenting.

Mullvad does port forward
Not anymore. As of May 29th, “[n]ew port forwards will no longer be supported, and existing ports will be removed 2023-07-01”–meaning by now, no port forwarding is supported.
They ended it July 1st.
Can someone speak more to this distinction between VPN for torrenting vs security? Does one come at the expense of the other?
A VPN can offer some security for either. Any way, yiu depend on the provider to forward your traffic and not reveal who you are.
