As always it depends on your threat model.

Are you trying to torrent without being banned by your ISP, or even to do some mildly illegal stuff such as buying drugs, hate speech or hacking some irrelevant company? The VPN is probably fine. NSA aren't going to risk giving up their backdoor for something trivial

Planning to run an international terrorism ring aimed at taking down western governments? I certainly wouldn't trust a VPN for that.
