I am into torrenting movies- alas no money to get a VPN, What else can I do? I don't really need a VPN because I live in a third world country and I don't get no lettters if I sail the seas, I was searching for any other ways to hide my IP address from the swarm, without loosing much speed?

I came across this Tribler client, I don't know if its good, Should I try Socks5 proxy or something like that?

Or tell me if the only good method is using a VPN, in that case I should wait out a couple years until I make money and remote torrent by making like 15 accounts in TorBox.

I will apologize, if I said something stupid in advance because I severly lack any knowledge in what I am talking about.

There's also https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists

Which has a bit of controversy... Some people say it works other say it's useless. I use this filter over a year now and didn't get any dmca from my ISP. (I don't download any recent media though)

Keep in mind, this could/will potentially block healthy peers in the swarm ^^ it's not a full bulletproof solution...

It does work in qbittorrent you just need to change the extension to .p2p I think?
