Germany here. Do I still need to use VPN?

Can't hurt, but no. If you do need a public tracker for anything, VPNs are advisable (and most security wonks would say here that they're advisable anyway and the best one costs like 35$ a year). Variety of subreddits with great info on this stuff. However, I don't bother at the moment, and private trackers take care of that thing for the most part. They also aren't the target of the big anti-piracy orgs -- neat AMA a while back that I can't find from someone who had worked at one, said they mostly had accounts on all the private trackers, used them to keep an eye out for scene releases and stuff that might spread to TPB etc. Really interesting. Germany's fine.
