Just a quick question on if you have a VPN and why? I'm struggling to see a reason beyond accessing media, but I already use Stremio plus AllDebrid for that (highly recommend by the way. ~4 USD a month for basically the netflix of torrents).

Proton is CIA

Do you have a source for that? I've only ever seen questionionable speculation. Not saying you're incorrect, just haven't seen actual examples of why people think they're CIA.

People accuse everything of being CIA. At a certain point you decide to either trust something or you decide not to trust anything. I can respect both.

I'm not techie but considering that Proton is open-source I expect we'd have someone pointing out a flaw or backdoor by now if it was compromised. I think it's probably good for now, things may change in the future as ownership or funding changes, but I also don't see many good alternatives.
