Using a VPN to connect to your own server for torrenting does not make sense, because that may not be 'your' IP address the traffic originates from, but it is still linked to you as you pay for the server. If you use a VPN from mullvad or something else it cannot (easliy) be tracked back to you directly. (It can, but to the outside there is just a lot of traffic comming from a single source IP, and it is not just your traffic but from a dozen other users. That's the point of using a VPN provider)
