I can vouch for this tutorial, used it myself a year or two ago when subscriptions started getting too pricey.

This was back when they still promoted Mullvad as VPN number 1. For the record, Mullvad still works fine for me. I never had port forwarding enabled while torrenting, and it's not too bad of an experience, outside of reaching less peers than usual (especially when seeding).
