You only need a VPN in very few countries, some countries where it is needed to avoid fines/getting your internet connection cutoff from your ISP are the US, Germany and a few other countries somewhere in western Europe, also don't pirate polish films without a VPN if you live in Poland, the rest of the world doesn't care about people downloading movies online.
In Germany they won't cut off your Internet connection. They'll send you a cease and desist for a few thousand euros.
That's even worse 😳
I am in Greece pirating without a VPN, and even after the new anti-piracy law passed, I haven't received a notice (yet).
Oh I didn't know that, are you using public trackers and leeching popular stuff too ?
Yes.
Also, I kinda should use a VPN anyway but I don't want to buy it yet.
