You can test it by using a torrent of Ubuntu (legal) - if the interface is binded, it should not be able to download unless the VPN is connected.

Check your VPN provider help page for specific instructions but do not follow generic guides that point to your router. WireGuard is the newest protocol which is 20-60% faster than OpenVPN, with state-of-the-art cryptography and written in Connection > Listening Port).

This means they're trying to monetize so they have the incentive to push the VPNs that pay the most for advertising, instead of unbiased recommendations. On this topic, follow this general rule of thumb: do not trust reviews, articles or YouTube videos where they provide VPN affiliate links. This thread aims to address that by focusing on simple yet objective and verifiable criteria that are especially important when it comes to torrenting (performance and anonymity).
