Or maybe I don’t know how this stuff works these days.

Ok I see now Transmission client, first I’ve heard of it. The port forwarding and “torrent support” in the VPN is the part I’m confused on. Do any other major VPNs support this config?
Mullvad and IVPN had built-in port forwarding but discontinued it in 2023. ProtonVPN supports it. I don't trust most commercial VPNs (Nord, Surfshark, etc.) to keep no logs.
You can also manually open ports on your router, but that's not optimal for privacy/security.
Some people run torrents on a home server/NAS with something like Tailscale for secure remote access, but that's a different setup entirely.
