Through my VPN provider I have chosen to connect via UDP to mask my IP. Since most of the torrent traffic uses TCP, does this mean that if my torrent client connects to others via TCP my IP will not be masked through my VPN connection, since that connection is using UDP?

VPN, UDP and torrenting

UDP does not mask IP addresses both TCP and UDP are protocols based on IP. Both contain the same ip headers.
The vpn would not actually work if your actual IP address was used to talk to the remote devices it is only used to talk to the vpn provoder. Most VPN you share a IP with other users anyway the ip assigned to your machine via the vpn connection is a private ip in most cases.

So what you are saying is that the UDP connection only concerns my connection from my computer to my VPN provider, and that the torrent traffic I am running from my torrent client on my computer is in fact running from my VPN providers server, so both UDP and TCP traffic will go to and from my VPN provider in practice?
So wether I am using a UDP or TCP tunnel towards my VPN provider only concerns my connection from my pc to my VPN provider, not the traffic I am running out towards the internet from VPN provider, meaning it should not matter wether my apps use UDP or TCP since those apps from a practical point of view seems to be running from my VPN providers IP?
