Would I be paranoid to use a VPN while visiting this site? (And others like it) god only knows if IP's visiting the site could be uncovered...

Yeah, I'm probably being paranoid...

Or tor.

Not a bad idea. Just make sure your VPN doesn’t cooperate with law enforcement or sell your data otherwise.

Additional note: check if the VPN does DNS or not. If not then use something like NextDNS, or get a VPN (Proton, Mullvad) that does do DNS servers. Plus they usually include better ad-blocking.
