I've recently got the arrs under my command and they work great with with qbittorrent and prowlarr for public trackers. But since there's almost no public German trackers, there is just use et or private trackers. Getting into a private tracker seems hard and I have never used usenet before, so what is the best course of action here?

So I need a usenet provider (news hosting seems good?) to enter into the download-client (nzbget recommended?) and an indexer (scenenzbs) to enter into prowlarr and I'm good to go? I don't need a VPN for usenet, right?

Yes, sometimes it might help to have multiple providers on different backbones if you run into availability issues.

There are currently no legal cases in Germany against Usenet like with copyrighted material and torrenting, that's mostly because you don't distribute with Usenet.

You don't need the prowlarr part. But yeah just choose a provider (paid), sign in to the the client and download from an indexer. Then unpack the files.

I found prowlarr great because it provides stats about how the different indexer perform. This makes it easier to decide which providers I don't need.
