im starting to learn and search about torrent and piracy in general, do I need a VPN even if my country does not care at all about piracy?

Neither Mullvad nor iVPN are offering port forwarding so neither will be ideal for torrenting.

Not anymore. As of May 29th, "[n]ew port forwards will no longer be supported, and existing ports will be removed 2023-07-01"--meaning by now, no port forwarding is supported.
