So ive heard a lot of people say that vpns are not worth it anymore, what else do I use to hide my data from my isp and be able to torrent safely?

thank you :)
VPNs are still worth it for that purpose, particularly torrenting.. Not sure who is saying this but they are wrong.
They might be confused about some VPNs removing port forwarding and thinking that kills their use case rather than limiting it
Somehow I've gotten dinged several times by my isp while torrenting behind a VPN. I'm not sure how it is happening because I am disciplined in my use and all the apps related to it will only function if the VPN is up and running. It's almost as if there's something in video file itself that activates outside of the VPN somehow. Or if private internet access is not offering comprehensive protection any longer.
Your OS might be leaking your DNS queries.

Bind your client to the torrenting software! Even with the best VPNs leaks can and will happen, so prepare for it.
Did you use free VPN?
