And with this setup you don't need a VPN? I just checked what debrid is and it still downloads illegal files but it isn't a torrent or something similar, right?
While a vpn is never a bad thing, no you don't need a vpn if you are watching debrid sources. Your ISP will see you connect to your debrid but it won't see the vídeos you're watching or anything like that. All Debrid (At least Real Debrid, the service many use) sources are encrypted and wont be picked up.
No. Since you aren't seeding the files, or are in the swarm, you are fine without a VPN. This is especially popular in Germany where you get fines of upwards of 500€
