I thought about using OpenVPN for piracy, since it's open source and can be easily set up on Arch Linux. Does anyone know about the quality of it or if I should use another VPN?

And even if you get a VPS, there is a money trail coming right back at you unless you pay with cryptocurrencies (and even with cryptocurrencies, it's not impossible to trace it back).

And there's nothing stopping the VPS provider from cancelling your service if they get too many inquiries from anti-piracy groups about traffic coming from your VPS and keeping the balance of the money you spent.
