    K thats not like a silver bullet, is it? I feel like thats sort of orthogonal even tho in letter you may be able to access all the shit. We need like a “Beeper” app for streaming services or something, I dunno

      The VPN is for a torrent client. No need to worry about streaming services when you’re sailing the high seas instead.

      Stremio is kinda beeper for streaming. In stock config you can search a show ir movie and itl show where it’s available and has links to the right app if you have them installed.

      Or you can install some plugins to sail the seas.

          Yeah the plugins are mainly there to provide a harbor for your ship.

          Best part is that you can download the app from the playstore and the plugins are available trough the app without any external site.

      With a VPN you can torrent shows/movies as soon as they’re out on streaming. How is it not a silver bullet?

          It’s not hard at all to find legit torrents. I don’t even know where you’d find millions of fake ones.

              You’re doing it wrong. There’s plenty of resources on how to torrent safely. Start there to find reputable trackers. Don’t just download random shit off google.

                  The piracy community is one of the biggest ones on lemmy. They have a wiki pinned as the first post when you go there. It’s pretty hard to miss that community if you’re on here for any amount of time. Reddit also had the same thing. That’s not particularly far beyond places “normies” frequent.

                  • And yet it’s the first time that it crossed my mind. Trust me, tech illiterates such as me struggle more with these things that you might believe.

                    Also thank you, you don’t know how much of a help you are giving me pointers. I know it might seem obvious on your end, but it really isn’t if you aren’t as internet savvy.
