A proper VPN will completely encapsulate your layer 7 data, so you should not be able to tease out the fact that they are torrenting - it should more or less be an opaque stream. With some protocols you can identify that they are sending VP

A correct VPN will make it look like you're just sending garbage traffic to/from one destination, the outside looking in traffic pattern is completely different than a torrent directly (which is many to one + one to many)
