You should be using a VPN for your privacy in general. It’s not really a piracy tool.

VPN privacy is way overblown by the companies. Only thing it does is obscure your IP but there are so many other ways companies are tracking you.

100%, but it’s definitely better than nothing, it makes it much more expensive for the government to surveil. Some VPNs have no logs but most have real time monitoring for compliance reasons, to catch very bad people. It’s more useful for “I have private journals” than “I’m a criminal”.
