To put it short, can I use ProtonVPN free for XDCC? I don’t want to be handed out a nice DMCA letter as I don’t manage the ISP. I would get a paid VPN but I’m currently paying off student debt, maybe I’ll do it later. But for now, is ProtonVPN free an okay VPN? Many thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I’m wanting to get some Anime through XDCC, since I’m not the one who manages my ISP, I don’t want any DMCAs routed to my room-mate. So can I safely Pirate via IRC without any DMCAs coming my friends way? Thanks. P.S. I’m not doing this behind my room-mates back, he knows, I’m just making sure I’m not routing my shit his way.

New user, sorry for mistakes. To put it simply, my college doesn’t block any websites for free speech and all that, and they don’t block piracy websites, such as AnimeKaizoku. But on the odd chance I’ll get a DMCA or a notice, the college will receive it as they manage the internet, and they’ll probably shit on me, someone before me (I think) got their WiFi revoked for a bit, which isn’t ideal for me. So is there any chance of being DMCA’d downloading from websites like AnimeKaizoku? And if there is a chance is there any way to avoid it? Thanks! TL;DR College internet doesn’t block DDL piracy websites, but if I get DMCA’d or get some kind of notice I’ll probably be shit on.
