Safing.io portmaster with SPN. It's better than any of the other recommendations so far.

I didn't see anything about not keeping logs (please correct me if I just missed it). Also, they don't have any built-in DNS protection, and it's expensive at $8.34usd/month.
It's an interesting idea to stratify your VPN and force individual apps to bind to their own tunnels, but seems like a lot of extra setup for little payoff, and if you can't be certain they're not keeping logs, there's little benefit to having multiple VPN connections vs one.
Please, feel free to correct me if I've misunderstood something.

Using torguard. Works well
I really like ProtonVPN with the unlimited plan. Comes with their premium email, drive, and password manager for $8-12 a month (depending on what plan length you buy)
I used the free version of Proton for a while, but when I decided to start paying I went with Surfshark. They were the best deal at the time and their client works well with the Windows, Android and Linux devices I have used it on. I have encountered some annoying "prove you are human" prompts when using Google Search so I mostly use DuckDuckGo.

Proton and Mullvad have the best privacy record, but I want to suggest a different tool. VPNs are really only useful for tunneling and adding an extra layer of anonymity, there's no total assurance they won't rat on you or get breached.
Real-Debrid is a way to torrent without risking ISP shutting down. Other debrid services exist, I just prefer real-debrid. The debrid service does the illegal part and you download over high speed. It's also more available since you can think of it like a very large scale seedbox. There's also implementation for most media center apps.
I've never heard of this before, and it sounds interesting after a cursory search online. Why the downvotes?
People get weird about VPNs. I think it's the way that they're marketed as security solution which is not really true these days.
