I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

Noob here. Could you in theory use torsocks to route all your traffic through tor including qBitTorrent traffic and not use a VPN?

Yes you could, but (and it's a big but): performance will be bad, performance for all other TOR users will be impeded, you won't be able to open an incoming port, it'll be a bad experience for everyone.

Additionally it's quite easy to leak identifiable info in such a setup.
