OK, so, I have a couple of questions:
- What’s the worst that can happen if I don’t use a VPN while pirating?
- Are free tier VPNs (like Proton VPN) good enough?
- I don’t want to pay much or anything for a VPN, is a way I can get a good free one, or set one myself somehow (I have experience with selfhosting) ?
- If not, which cheap one do you recommend?
EDIT: I pirate mostly movies, and rarely some TV series.

Depends what country you’re in
I decided to not use a VPN, because I live in Greece and read online that, although piracy is illegal, no action is being taken for pirates.
In my country it is decriminalised unless you’re doing it at a very large scale and charging money, so I’m home free.
My ISP does block most torrent trackers – But changing DNS providers is enough to get around that.
