Servarr wiki recommends no VPN? (piefed.social)

Yo ho me hearties,

I was reading through Servarr wiki's VPN Guide and saw this callout:

For most users, secure DNS is sufficient instead of VPNs and fixes indexer connectivity issues without the complexity and problems of VPN setups

Are VPNs no longer the recommended practice? I was under the impression a VPN was pretty much required for sharing stuff in a copyright-sensitive country. I'd be delighted if I could simplify my app stack.

The VPN is needed for the torrent client. If you use it with the arr programs, you will probably be blocked by anything that's behind cloudflare.
