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.

Idk if it would help, but you might like mov-cli, if you don’t want to use the sites: https://mov-cli.github.io/
Though, all it does is just scrape all those sites, so I guess you’re still connecting to them
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:
lsto list the files in the termux dir,
followed by:
rm filename.mp4to remove the file
…after which the size of my Termux app decreased, as expected.
Maybe the site has rate limiting to prevent scraping? I’ve never used

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.
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?
