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?

How long is “in the long run?” How much can you afford to spend? What country? How many devices?

For what you’re describing it doesn’t seem like places like mullvad or proton are the right choice. Nord is a good way to get past geofencing for decently cheap. Windscribe can also be cheap. Air is cheap if you’re not Italian.

Anti malware VPN services can be okay sometimes, I wouldn’t call them a serious option though because they’re often tied to use of some antimalware suite and may have glaring flaws when used without the rest of that software.
