Ive thought about torrents but they require a paid vpn from what i know? I dont really want to pay, which is why im thinking about piracy because im not made of money and cant afford a vpn. Im just not sure if its possible to be safe and sail the seven seas all for free?
What would you advise i do? what did you do when starting out?


You could use a free VPN like Proton if you’re worried about getting caught. You can also use DNS over https to hide what sites you’re visiting from being visible, and you might not even need a VPN depending on your area, as others have mentioned. I’ve pirated so much stuff for years and never gotten any angry letters.
Proton’s free plan does not support P2P.
In most country you don’t risk anything by just visiting the site. But just so you know, while DoH or DoT are very good things for privacy, it’s not enough to prevent your ISP form seeing the site you visit. They can still see the SNI unless the site has setup ECH but it’s very rare.
