by proxy, do you mean a vpn?
Yes, personally I use ProtonVPN. Iirc they don't care about copyright laws because they don't really apply in their country, I might be wrong though
Also make sure your ip doesn't get leaked by your torrent client
I have been using PIA for sometime. Has port forwarding and have been liking it so far.
Don't know about that one, you can check for IP address leaks here https://ipleak.net/
Also https://browserleaks.com/ is pretty useful
And last but not least, inform yourself if PIA is trustworthy, some VPN providers gave information about their users to the police
