I have set an Arr stack with qBittorrent utilizing SOCKS5 server set in another country. Am I still under surveillance if I use my local IP address to download .torrent files or use magnet links?

The argument - that there’s too much data - is a good one, but if that was the case, why would vpn go to the effort of emphasising “no logs policy”. I think ISPs could retain data as it’s likely only very small records (IP, customer ID, timestamp).
Because VPNs are advertised as anonymous privacy, for people geo blocked or needing to avoid dmcas with torrents. It’s literally not in the best interest of the ISP to keep the logs, because A) Storage requirements and B) dealing with legal issues. Don’t keep it and you don’t have to worry about either of those unless you get a court order and are required to collect the logs.
