fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

VPN recommended or?

You shouldn't need a VPN to access sudo lol instances since the connection is encrypted. Your ISP has no way of telling what you're watching so long as your browser always accesses https vs http.

That said, I've heard wonderful things about Mullivad.

Awesome. Thank you for the response. 💜

Without a VPN, your ISP will have some level of meta data. It may be as little as you did a DNS lookup of a pirate site and downloaded 2.14GB of data from that site.

Is that illegal? Depends on what country/state you are in.
