I need a VPN to get around geoblocks and to torrent without my ISP sending me letters.

NordVPN always worked perfectly fine for me. I don't see the problem? Not saying other ones aren't better, but it seems perfectly adequate.

Looks like the concerns are about who owns it? But how does that make it a worse solution for my torrent box?

They could possibly snitch you out to your government. We can't trust that they are not recording your traffic.

Yeah but so could my ISP, and all in all I find it more likely my ISP would, than that NordVPN would. I don't trust either, but I definitely trust my ISP less.
