Is there anything I should know security-wise while using Usenet/NZBGet? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I wanted to give Usenet a try so I installed NZBGet and found a provider and indexer. That said I don't know if I should edit any security settings even if I don't have port forwarding enabled on my network. I've changed the default username and password and I'm connecting through a VPN but that's about it.

Real new to this so my concern is knowing enough to mess myself over.

Any other tips would be appreciated as well!

I was wondering why people pay for index sites until I tried looking myself for example.
