So ive heard a lot of people say that vpns are not worth it anymore, what else do I use to hide my data from my isp and be able to torrent safely?

thank you :)
VPNs are still worth it for that purpose, particularly torrenting.. Not sure who is saying this but they are wrong.
Somehow I've gotten dinged several times by my isp while torrenting behind a VPN. I'm not sure how it is happening because I am disciplined in my use and all the apps related to it will only function if the VPN is up and running. It's almost as if there's something in video file itself that activates outside of the VPN somehow. Or if private internet access is not offering comprehensive protection any longer.
Your OS might be leaking your DNS queries.
Did you use free VPN?
They might be confused about some VPNs removing port forwarding and thinking that kills their use case rather than limiting it
Seedboxes are pretty cool.
I think VPN's are not a magic bullet but they serve a purpose.
VPNs are still worth it for privacy. I look at it as fingerprint protection. I’m not 100% certain if companies fingerprint you via IP anymore, but it’s a nice layer to anonymize my traffic because they don’t know who’s using Sever 3793’s IP.
