No need to use a vpn for ddl. If you want the best of both worlds use a debrid service like real-debrid. It allows faster downloads from file sharing sites and ability to download torrents without you having to seed it.

do i need to use real debrid or can i use a browser like tor and what sites might i use?

is there a free way to get started by chance?

Real debrid is not necessary unless you're downloading from hosts that require a paid account for unlimited access. You can download from archive.org and other HTTP sites without worry. You don't need tor, a vpn, real debrid, a seed box, or any other paid service people are suggesting here. Just stay away from torrents and you'll be fine.
