Dont use VPNs where you provide personal information as ISPs and law enforcement can and do request data from those VPN services. Use something like Mullvad (and pay with XMR if you are paranoid :)

I already use Mullvad, but I doesn't allow portforwarding anymore, sadly. So my uploads speeds are pitiful. As much as I enjoy Mullvad's simplicity when it comes to accounts, I'll have to pass. The point of the seedbox is to make the files that I download widely available. I don't download a whole lot, and it's usually files with very few seeders. It's often stuff that you can't find on streaming sites.

Is paid ProtonVPN good for this? It's got port forwarding and is apparently private, but I can't tell how willing they would be to provide details to others in a bad scenario.
