And maybe other considerations - like if all you want to do is access things like porn and pirate Torrents and Lemmy, is it safe for a reputable company to have a credit card number on file?

Proton has a free tier VPN that doesn’t allow torrenting (though it might still work). If you need torrenting, you will need to pay for the VPN host. Mullvad VPN accepts crypto, you could do cash to crypto and be harder to trace. Evaluate your threat model before accepting advice from internet strangers.

But shouldn’t people be massively suspicious about a free VPN, like selling user data? Why do they offer a free tier in the first place?
It’s “freemium”. They give you a free tier in the hopes that you upgrade to a premium one eventually.
