As the title says, how do you pirate your movies while staying private?

I currently use one of the multiple 123movies websites to watch all my movies. But I’d like to not have my IP on their servers, so I use the tor network to connect to them. Now, as you can imagine, this is very slow and far from ideal. Most free VPNs have blocked the websites, and I do not want to pay for one. I thought about torrents, but found no way to do that privately either. Then I thought about Startpages “Anonymous view” feature, but that breaks the website I use.

So, how do you do it? I need some inspiration. Thanks in advance.

        Mark it as wanted in radarr webapp (or lunasea app) Then about 10min later open plex on the desired consumer device

    Not saying I do this but… try a video downloader over a Tor connection? I wouldn’t actually stream anything off those scammy ass sites… I learned my lesson when I my son was about 7 or 8 (so 5 years ago) and we were trying to watch an episode of some cartoon (I don’t even remember) and suddenly there was anime pussy all over the screen and my son said “What’s that?” I’ll never forget how mortified I was.

    I download everything from a private torrent tracker, and stream with plex. It’s all a pretty well oiled machine. I can use a browser or an app to search for a movie then shortly after I’m streaming to my tv from my nas

      Interesting. What is that “private torrent tracker”? How exactly do you download from it?

    Just pay for a VPN service… ~$5/month. Think of all the value you’re getting for free through piracy, and realize that you’re ultimately paying for egress bandwidth when you pay for a VPN service.

    Seriously, I have a lightweight cloud instance for various reasons but it would cost me more to route my download traffic through it than it does through Mullvad.

    You just can’t get this kind of thing for free these days
