No need for VPN with usenet
What if the Usenet provider is compromised?
Your chances of this is about the same as the VPN provider being compromised of not lower.
Have you ever heard of anyone at all get in trouble for using usenet due to the provider being compromised?
Hell, most providers have a European endpoint. Just use that if that paranoid.
Citation on the first paragraph ๐. Both are definitely weak points. Personally I just yolo torrents on my own IP. The only thing that happens here is an angry letter in the mail anyway. Only time I ever got one was when I redeployed Medusa and I oopsed and had public trackers enabled from the default config.
