I never did it. How can I do it? And where I need to go for it?

There are two schools of thought, and one of them is insanely wrong.

The current preferred method (by youngins) for pirating is by using a VPN provider to "hide" your torrent traffic, which is generally valid, but it's not a silver bullet and it's a wrong way to think.

The other is to use a seedbox, which is a remote server hosted in a country that doesn't recognize piracy as a crime to begin with...

The choice is clear. Especially when you consider to get a good private VPN you'll have to pay $5-10/mo. You may as well pay $5-10/mo to commit a crime where no one thinks its a crime, then you never have to worry about it. Using a VPN you can still get caught, it's just exceptionally rare because conditions have to line up perfectly. But what if your VPN is down, and you accidentally begin a download? You willing to get a $100,000 fine for that?

Just use a damn seedbox.

Just wanted to point out that if your client is configured properly it won't have any connections while the VPN is down.

Yeah qbittorrent really locks this down and makes it fool-proof quite easily.

I noticed that none of my anime torrents were downloading last week. I was like hmm did my VPN get IP banned? Then I tried a private tracker. Last ditch effort was the Arch Linux iso.

I forgot to pay my VPN for the year. As soon as I did, restarted the container, boom back to business as usual
