I did despite being quite resistant to the idea at first. Eventually I didn't have a choice, as many things I wanted to read were suddenly hidden. I am paranoid however and worry that the VPN maker is tracking me, but there is only so much I can be paranoid about in the day.

Why not get a remote server and tunnel your connection through it -- Tailscale, or Cloudflare, or even raw WireGuard if that's what you prefer.

You'll basically have your own private VPN

This is what I do, except into the UK so I can watch geo-blocked sports. Pure wireguard, nothing fancy. But that also means if anything were to go wrong or stop working I can just tear it down and set it up somewhere else.

Look up what kind of tracking UK ISPs are mandated to do by law and how easy it is to request that information. Your VPN can't possibly be worse than that.
