My country never cared about this, but recently some people started getting fines. I generally pay for my games; I only use ReVanced and watch TV shows online.

What would be the cheapest VPN in the long run for this? As I said, I don't torrent, so port forwarding and stuff like that I don't care about.

There's also antimalware software bundled with the M365 subscription on Amazon; I've been using the VPN from that for a bit now.

Edit: Btw, do you think an antimalware VPN is safe? It's never been a problem (never like the USA, for example) over here in the EU, but recently they started slightly hunting pirates (never heard of anyone I know though). So yeah, maybe a simple VPN may suffice until they decide to go hardcore style?

Proton VPN has a free plan with barely any restrictions.

Yes, this seems like a good option for OP to try first considering they don't need torrenting.

I should also have said I sometimes use it for MMO gaming, in case my ISP fucks up and I need to play for a week or so before it's fixed (it just happened this week). I didn't remember this when I wrote the thread

The free plan is very limited in terms of server locations so it might not be a good option for gaming.

I have some friends who've used Mudfish in the past. It's a tunneling service with a Pay-Per-Traffic mode which is affordable if you only need it occasionally.

Their free plan should be fast enough for MMOs. As long as it's not ultra fast paced like CoD

I'll try it then, thanks :)
