if you want to go the SBC route there’s other options aside from Pis you might want to check out. Cheaper and more suitable systems that are easier to get ahold of. If you’re looking to get into it I’d look at LibreElec and Kodi with a Seren plugin setup that pulls from a Debrid service like RealDebrid. debrid removes the need for a vpn and is usually cheaper and faster.
A raspberry pi is enough, no need for a VPN and even if you want one, it can be as cheap as 3€ a month.
Share your knowledge on how to use a Pi never heard of that method.
