I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

Ah ok, that makes sense, thanks!
Yes, very easy to create the VPN, but hard to hide your identity when your billing is attached to both ends.
