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.

Proton's free plan does not support P2P.

I thought it just doesn't support port forwarding, and only one side of a torrent connection needs to have it

No, proton free blocks torrent use

How do they block it exactly? Do they block it the way most public Wifi does, or do they go an extra step and attempt to block trackers? If it's the former it's possible to bypass it, but it will limit how fast or good the torrenting experience will be.
