Starting to use "soulseek" do I need VPN (lemmy.zip)

So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using soulseek with no VPN. With where I live I would get in trouble with no VPN and torrents for clarity.
I see posts from years ago saying no just wondering if things have changed.

Thanks

I'm not aware of any neo-Nazis (literal or otherwise). I don't spend any time in the chat rooms, though.

like half of the network is 4channers nazis. Sometimes you might stumble in neonazi material depending on the search terms.

Like I said, I've never ran into this, and I've been using it for about 20 years. Politics never comes up, because I'm almost never chatting with other users.
