Well, just that. Wich is stronger against trackers, hackers and doxxing threats? Proton VPN (I’m using this one actually), or Mullvad VPN?

Depending on how you’re accessing this, and how many people you’re trying to set this up for, it would probably be easiest to learn how to deploy your own Wireguard network. In my case, my phone automatically connects to my own Wireguard on my server (an 11 year old laptop) and whenever I’m on the go I have full access to my LAN + PiHole DNS filtering.
So, what’s the point? The point is that you will be able to securely connect to your media server without exposing it directly to the internet, all without paying for a service to do what you can already do yourself, provided your ISP allows you port forward.
I have several people who usually access my media server from abroad. Can you confirm if the WireGuard network you mentioned allows you to “legally torrent” media using it?
So to be perfectly clear, setting up Wireguard is about bridging two LANs (or devices) to make them virtually appear as if they belong on the same network. For every client that connects they would need to be issued a key and every device would have to be set up. But all the traffic between the two “LANs” would be encrypted and secure.
But I don’t think WireGuard is what you’re looking for, because this would require setting up all these other people with WireGuard as well. Or doing a more complex setup where you use a VPS and WireGuard and have that serve an exit point instead of your home connection. Or any other number of more complex setups that would work but require a lot more effort… and it sounds like you were just looking for basic port forwarding.
Mullvad took that feature away a couple of years ago (presumably to combat CSAM dissemination). So if you were hoping to just have a secure path for someone to connect to your media server routed through Mullvad, I don’t believe that’s possible anymore.
