I love your recommendation. Unfortunately I am very out of the loop with that sort of thing these days. And I’m without resources if I accidentally break something. I need my desktop for work as well. I’d be happy to read up on the topic if you could suggest some reputable sources that someone without a tech background could break down. It’s why I save it all up until summer. So I pay them as little as possible.
I beleive this is where dbzer0 would come in… So basically, you are going to want a VPN first, which they are pretty easy to get and use and there are plenty of resources online, I would suggest going for a trusted one such as Proton VPN or Nord VPN. Then as for how to actually get movies/shows, you are going to want to install firefox (if you don’t have it) and then add the ‘ublock’ extention to block popups and other nasty things. Then once you have that, you can check out the sites in our megathread, they are safe and trusted: https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv . Let me know if you need more help. :)
Because streaming over tor is 1) painfully slow and 2) a dick move for the whole network that is very important to others.
VPN don’t give a crap about people pirating, and governments probably don’t as much as people think (I guess that depends heavily on your country), but if you really want to be safe, go for one of the logless vpn, like mullvad or ivpn.
That’s fair piracy probably is safer than most people have you believe.
I still wouldn’t go for any VPN that clearly logs stuff that can be traced back to me, that would defeat most of the purpose (unless it’s one for accessing machines in my home network).
Also if you’re downloading it first I don’t really see the relevance of speed, just do it the day before.

I too am out of the loop but why not use tor? The VPN companies can still trace it back to you if what you did turned out to be illegal.
