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.
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.
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
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.
Not saying I do this but... try a video downloader over a Tor connection? I wouldn't actually stream anything off those scammy ass sites... I learned my lesson when I my son was about 7 or 8 (so 5 years ago) and we were trying to watch an episode of some cartoon (I don't even remember) and suddenly there was anime pussy all over the screen and my son said "What's that?" I'll never forget how mortified I was.
I had never heard of this before. Installed it in Termux on Android. Some dependencies were missing, but after installing them along the way, it worked in the end! What a cool little tool. Streaming seemed to be working well. However, when I tried using the download features, the speeds seemed to stall. It took maybe 30 min to download 8 mins of video (a few 100 MB, ~25% of the size of the files I tried). I force killed the processes, which left temp incomplete files. I found and removed them using these commands:
ls
to list the files in the termux dir,
followed by:
rm filename.mp4
to remove the file
...after which the size of my Termux app decreased, as expected.
