opinions on hide.me free VPN? (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I recently set up my first home server, and would like to set up qbittorrent on it. I tried using protonVPN, which is what I use on desktop, but got rate limited because torrenting on the free plan is not allowed. What do you think of hide.me vpn? it has a CLI linux version, I think I can install it inside the docker container and set up a killswitch (that should be built in? at least that's what they say) to torrent safely.

I know paid VPNs are better and also pretty cheap, but I cannot afford one right now. Any tips?

whatever free provider you want, pick one that supports OpenVPN, as that is where you can force gluetun to work generic-ly. i seemed to recall some instructions for non-preconfig OpenVpn connections. .. maybe
