Edit: I wouldn't recommend it for torrents, dont seed too much and ISPs usually dont give a damn you can actually set a cap on your torrent in μTorrent under Options>Preferences>Queueing>Seeding goal>Minimum Ratio (I set mine to 130%) then cheek on the "limit the upload rate to 0"

Edit2: it appears YMMV personally i never reach top speed of my regular internet speed (around 100Mbs)

Also very powerful enterprise management but it is a resource hog.

What would you say is the biggest obstacle in automating your job?

Most privacy violations are simple; DNS snooping, man in the middle, crap like that. A vpn is the SIMPLEST solution that swats the most low hanging threats. It also helps against DNS poisoning or other phishing attempts that can lead to a compromised device like "the actual device you are holding (Phone, Computers, etc)". Networks that you are connected on are the biggest attack vector for an outsider.

I really did not like the answer u/PrivacyIntl gave as so here is one to actually answer your question.

The simpleset hassle free solution would just be a paid VPN, it protects you from hackers on public wifi (mainly MiTM attack), helps with traffic shaping (people have gotten faster netflix through a VPN then without one) and allows you to see Geo Locked content. I'm not going to name any as that would make seem like i'm shilling, but if you google best ones you will find a list.

If you are doing something serious ie whistleblowing that will not be enough, for that you should look up the tor project and use tails in conjunction to a load of other privacy practices that they go over. This should be followed if you are directly targeted by state actors/ law enforcement agencies.
