I read Proton and CyberGhost VPNs are good when used with WireGuard?

[cool9]

If I buy Proton or Cyberghost VPN do I have to use Wireguard, as well to get good speeds? I also read PIA VPN delivered relatively low connection speeds of around 320Mbps

I bought Mozilla VPN and it's not hiding my IP address. I checked my IP address online and it said "You can be detected. Buy a VPN now".

In addition, someone from Europe hacked my Microsoft email account and threatened and blackmailed me because I'm searching Adult Content online. He said he was going to make it public if I didn't pay him 1500 bit coins. He blocked me from replying to him. I contacted Microsoft about the threats and they didn't respond.

Will a VPN stop people from hacking my accounts? I followed MS tips for hacked accounts and I changed my password and scanned my PC for threats and found none but I don't know if that's going to stop hacking. I have Windows Defender and Windows 10.

No.

I read several websites for best torrenting VPN's. This was one of them https://recoversoft.wordpress.com/2022/08/30/best-torrenting-vpn/ and there's a long discussion about VPNs at "reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/16zvp1g/best_vpn_for_torrenting_right_now".

And I read that Proton or Cyberghost are good for anonymous torrenting and are cheaper than Surfshark, NordVPN, etc. and they provide fast speeds when used with Wireguard.

I'd exclude Cyberghost as it does not support port forwarding which is very important to connect with as many peers in the swarm as possible. 
VPN providers cite security concerns, but tbh, if you're downloading using p2p then I think most of us have got the potential security risks covered like sandboxing of your p2p client.

I used ProtonVPN for a month (I am trialling all VPNs that support port forward) and found its speeds were the most impressive I've ever seen. I'd highly recommend.

What download/upload speed in MB or Mb?

This goes beyond utorrent help and is best left to sites talking about VPN and security software itself. Utorrent is not a support site to advise on VPN or security software that is best left to site that reviews and advocate for those software.
