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?

you would or you would NOT use it for piracy?

Would use it for piracy, not if you need good privacy. It's good enough to avoid a complaint letter from your ISP when torrenting, but can you be sure that they don't sell your data to advertisers? I don't know. Will they respond to a law enforcement subpoena? Probably.

I'm more worried about the last point than the first. Stuff like Proton VPN wouldn't respond to a law enforcement subpoena? If you mean buying illegal things such as drugs I don't care; I'd use it for movies. I worry if this VPN may be good for pirating games even though I don't have plans to do that right now. I wonder if such a solution is better than an antimalware VPN?

Their life plan seems like a perfect solution, and if they don't have antivirus VPN bundled with M365 on Amazon Black Friday, or if you believe this isn't the best solution, that lifetime VPN may be good.
