It would be helpful if we knew what VPN provider you are using.
Please note: if your VPN provider costs you nothing; you are the product and you are absolutely using the wrong VPN! It is expected that you use a reputable, No Logs, Torrent-Friendly Paid VPN for best “torrenting-compatible” privacy results. These can run anywhere from $5 to $75 USD depending on what payment term and plan you run.
How about ProtonVPN? They are free-ish but only to a certain extent so you could also say they are a paid product as well. Are they decent for this task?

ProtonVPN explicitly denies Torrenting in their ToS when you are a FREE user. You must purchase their service before torrenting.
Updated my comment…
ProtonVPN is fine if you purchase a Plus plan or better
AFAIK their free tier doesn’t do P2P.
I use protonVPN exclusively for torrenting. I highly recommend it
