No, do not trust a free VPN. Also a browser based VPN will not protect traffic from other programs such as your torrent client.
Firefox VPN is provided by proton, so it's possibly the only half-safe solution out there (the logic being that paying customers support the cost of the freeloaders).
As mentioned here, don't trust a browser plugin, just get a free single connection account straight from proton.
You gonna regret nord. I'm on a paid plan with proton and it doesn't compare in speed and stability.
