Recently mullvad stopped the port forwarding, are there some other trustworthy VPN to do Torrenting out there or others solutions to do torrenting with Mullvad?

They had a data breach because they weren't careful and they're a bunch of liars that say the government hasn't sent data requests but they have.

I'm a protonvpn unlimited subscriber and I love it because the company has lawyers to fight tooth and nail against legal requests I can't say the same for Nord. The only controversy Proton has had is with Protonmail when an environmental activist used it and proton gave their IP address. There was lots of backlash from this but if you use the internet without a VPN (the activist did not use a VPN), then you should be expecting your IP address to be public, that's how the internet is able to work.

Does protonvpn have an option to auto-connect to vpn on wifi networks (with white listing)?

Apart form my transmission-openvpn container, my main use of the vpn is to keep my traffic private from my personal devices (iphone, ipad, mac) on most wifi networks. It just auto connects and I never have to remember to do it. But home/trusted wifi is white listed and won’t vpn, again automagically.
