I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

Self hosted VPNs are not suitable for sailing the seas. Self-hosting a VPN server only provides remote access to your local network. It does not provide any sort of privacy benefits, because the tunnel exit is an IP address traceable to you.
If they are paying for it, it’s either not self-hosted, or they are paving a licensing fee for the VPN software they are running locally.
Ah ok, that makes sense, thanks!
Yes, very easy to create the VPN, but hard to hide your identity when your billing is attached to both ends.
