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?

if you live in the US, fair, it's probably required, but at the same time, 1 year of vpn probably costs the same as 2 months of whatever random netlflix/hulu streaming service. If you have a roommate, split the price? I wouldn't trust a VPN with anything more sensitive than torrents (without extensive research). Then again, I'm not totally sure I'm willing to vouch for the value of a VPN vs your free options.

You never said what you're trying to pirate, so I hope this is helpful in finding you solutions that don't require a VPN:
