As the title says, how do you pirate your movies while staying private?
I currently use one of the multiple 123movies websites to watch all my movies. But I’d like to not have my IP on their servers, so I use the tor network to connect to them. Now, as you can imagine, this is very slow and far from ideal. Most free VPNs have blocked the websites, and I do not want to pay for one. I thought about torrents, but found no way to do that privately either. Then I thought about Startpages “Anonymous view” feature, but that breaks the website I use.
So, how do you do it? I need some inspiration. Thanks in advance.
Buy a 2 year VPN subscription. Any free service raises the question of how it is funding itself. If you aren’t paying you’re the product.
While that would probably work, as I already said, I do not want to pay for one. It’s less about the money but more about that I’d have to give them all my information - my name, credit card details and so on. And I am not willing to do that, as a VPN is only private until the government or whoever asks for all your data, which would include the Website and the fact that I visited it.
Thanks, that might be an idea. I would still definitely prefer a way to do it for free, but as a last option, I’ll look into this. Edit: Just found out that it costs €5 per month, no matter what. I could almost buy Netflix from that…
Proton VPN. They’re pretty transparent with their free tier. Collects nothing and nothing has sold, the paid users subsidise it
Usenet and hard drives. LOTS of hard drives.
Just pay for a VPN service… ~$5/month. Think of all the value you’re getting for free through piracy, and realize that you’re ultimately paying for egress bandwidth when you pay for a VPN service.
Seriously, I have a lightweight cloud instance for various reasons but it would cost me more to route my download traffic through it than it does through Mullvad.
You just can’t get this kind of thing for free these days
I download everything from a private torrent tracker, and stream with plex. It’s all a pretty well oiled machine. I can use a browser or an app to search for a movie then shortly after I’m streaming to my tv from my nas
Interesting. What is that “private torrent tracker”? How exactly do you download from it?
It’s a website that’s managed by a community of pirates. It’s invite-only (meaning you have to be invited by an existing user) and you will have your membership revoked if you don’t follow certain rules (mostly about seeding). The .torrent files you get from them are specific to that private tracker, so no one who’s not also a member of the same site can see which files you’re seeding.

You can torrent privately using I2P (It’s like Tor but peer-to-peer). The Java router comes with a pre-installed torrent client, accessible from the console. After installing and setting up your browser you can browse the main tracker at tracker2.postman.i2p.
