The point is that despite the "huge list", most private trackers will ban you for using that sort of service. With a VPS, you have your own static IP, and you'll be fine. Also "using only the programs you select" is insecure considering how a VPN functions. Pretty much the whole reason it's more secure than something like a proxy is it funnels all your traffic through it by default. No need to worry about side-channel attacks or programs sending data over unexpected ports and not transferring via the VPN. An SSH tunnel would be a better choice for what you describe.

The only thing the multi-country thing does for you is help you view certain region specific content, and since we're all pirates, I don't see much point in that.

Also half the point of ZNC is you can stay logged in 24/7 without actually needing to run IRC.
