If your using a vpn its pretty much unavoidable. You could opt to use a vpn service that offers a static ip, since not sharing an ip with a bunch of other users will reduce your browser being flagged but, that comes with privacy trade off

Educational piracy is even more justified. Knowledge should never be paywalled.
Way more. Lineage is not a very good rom in terms of privacy and is an awful choice in terms of security. Both Divest and Calyx are better choices.
Lineage as the name implies is best suited for end of life phones that you need to keep working. Which i would avoid anyway as you are not getting any security updates leaving your phone extremely vulnerable.
If your not going to go with a pixel, the best alternative is a new samsung phone with Divest OS.
Samsung is the closest in terms of meeting GOS hardware requirements (it still doesn't) and Divest OS is the next best privacy respecting ROM.
You first. Feel free to post it here.
Its part of proton drive. Drive has a section for photos.
I think plex + real debrid is also a pretty easy option. Auto downloads anything you add to your watchlist, unlimited storage.
Proton offers a cloud photo storage similar to Googles but its all E2EE. A bit clunky compared to google but much more privacy friendly.
Id put it this way. Until lack of encryption is an issue for carriers and not a source of revenue, there wont be an incentive.
Start with some of the easier to get into semi-private trackers such as MAM (books / audiobooks) and TorrentLeech (general) to build up some history. I can send you an invite to TL if ya need one just DM me.
You could also study the rules and join RED (music) but their wait times to actually interview are ridiculous. Its much easier to get into Orpheus which shares a lot of the same users, who are happy to upload on both.
Some of these have forums that you can use to get access to invites to more exclusive trackers.
These all seem like pretty run-of-the-mill dns requests. Are there specific requests that give you some pause?
I would add increasing the UAC or just not using an admin account, if your on windows, is also a very effective way to keep yourself safe as it will prevent a lot of malicious programs from automatically elevating their permissions.
