Start by checking the Megathread and other resources in the sidebar.
These resources are really all you need, but they're all individually quite focused so for a new person it can be hard to see the forest.

The free version of proton VPN does not allow torrenting
Technically you can torrent with it, but the free tier does not include port forwarding, so you will not be able to seed very effectively.
