Anytime you switch from consumer to sharer, you run some heavier risks.
Plex should be a cautionary tale
Please explain the plex comment?
Some sauce for the hungry!

That's more of a cautionary tale about running out-of-date software. A vpn wouldn't have affected it at all, and it's not especially relevant to OP's question. It also doesn't have anything to do with sharing content, not really relevant to your initial comment either.
Slsk is out of date
Got a link to the CVE?
what's CVE?
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, it's a system for cataloging security issues. For instance, the vulnerability in Plex that caused the leak in the link above was CVE-2020-5741.
When I called the version of Plex out-of-date, it's because it had an unpatched security vulnerability. Because you called Soulseek out of date, I'm asking you which vulnerability makes you say that.
No but the latest build is from 2018/19 probably there are exploits. I guess.
Your face is out of date!
