I guess, that depends on the legislative of your country, maybe they see all interactions with usenet providers as illegal, and if you are not using a VPN they see what IP you talk to. But in the other hand, in such countries, using (foreign) VPNs may also be illegal🤔
Your ISP sees the connection to news.usenetserver.com and if they cared could get a court order to get your data from them. They can compel you to release your username and password.
You also need to protect yourself against future law and enforcement
I thought you don’t need a VPN for things like usenet
If your provider supports SSL and you actually turn it on then no technically don’t need a VPN for Usenet.
this is dangerous advice. courts can still subpoena the usenet provider for your information.

Meh my Usenet provider also partners with a VPN provider. Still costs me £5 a month for the VPN but I may as well use it, I like having a VPN
