Yes of course, if you're engaged in low level criminal behaviour, then even these low levels of obfuscation will keep some pressure off your back. But since copyright law is somewhat of a grey area in the EU, you technically don't even need a VPN for that. You could run a VPS somewhere and get the same results much cheaper. But this kind of use case is not something VPN providers can advertise with anyways, so my point remains unchanged.



You can get a good VPN for $5/month. I don't think you can get a decent VPN with enough bandwidth to use as a tunnel for the same price.

And as for infringement being grey in the EU, not really it goes by country. Nothing grey about it in Denmark for example.


You can literally get a VPS with gigabit connection for free these days.


Link?


Try (to) google (as in GCP). AWS, Azure and pretty much everyone else also has some kind of free tier.


Yeah, there's no VPS with a gigabit connection for free.
