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.

    1. The worst that can happen is nintendo sues you for ten times what you have to make an example out of you. More likely is angry isp letters and eventually a fine.
    2. Generally no, but they’re better than nothing.
    3. Not that I know of. You can kind of set one up yourself on a vps, but that would probably cost more.
    4. I would recommend airvpn. They are fairly cheap, accept standard credit/debit cards, as well as crypto or even cash (like actual mailed cash, it’s kinda crazy).
