You could start by using the connection test on the mullvad website that checks for 3 different leaks.
VPN use is not illegal (yet).
Your ISP can still match your internet traffic to the act of torrenting - however they can not know what you are torrenting and the act of torrenting itself is not illegal.
Theoretically - using torrents to download free use material like you are going to do is 100% legal and above board. So what if you are choosing to use a VPN while doing it?
WebRTC (peer to peer media shit don’t worry about it) intrinsically leaks IP information. It needs to be turned off in browsers like Firefox as well if that’s whta you’re using.
Either through settings, it’s in there somewhere, or about:config and search for rtc amd disable.
Ooh, this is exactly the kind of stuff I need to learn how to check, thank you! I mean, theoretically…

Thank you! And let’s hope it’s never made illegal, so we can continue to do things legally while respecting our internet preferences…
Mullvad even has their own leak tests on their website. So once you’re connected, just go to the homepage and run a test before doing anything.
Awesome, thanks. I’m learning all kinds of theoretical things!
