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…
As has been noted, if you’re not the customer, you’re the product. You can’t expect to get free, safe, and private. You’ll have to pick what you value more.

Personally, I prefer to give my money to Mullvad than to Netflix.
I just didn’t expect it to be this much. After all, two years of this would cost me €120. I expected it to be more like €50. So I guess in this case, it is about the money; after all, there is a reason why we pirate ;)
Don’t worry, so would I. There is no way I’m supporting this company. It was just supposed to be a comparison.
I cancelled cable TV ($100) , Netflix (which in Canada is $16+tax without ads) and Prime (it’s too easy to buy stuff there as well, I’m trying to support more local stores), downgraded my Internet to 150Mbps because I calculated my usage and discovered I was paying for speeds I very rarely really needed, MMORPG gaming is less than 1Mbps, streaming HD <10Mbps, streaming 4K <30Mbps (though I don’t do that), instead I only pay for Mullvad and cheaper Internet. I save a lot every month from that perspective.
In addition I occasionally need Mullvad for other things than bittorrent, like to access websites in other countries/etc. It can be handy to have a VPN sometimes.
