I never did it. How can I do it? And where I need to go for it?

    Kinda wish you’d be a little more detailed here.

    So while everyone is telling you what to use. Let me tell you about how to behave as a pirate, least suggestively, not strictly. You need to not be a blip on the radar. Well how’s that? You don’t download gigs and gigs of data in a single day, you have to be a little more spread than that. Because even if you’re safe under VPN and everything, if an ISP thinks you’re being suspicious at any degree, they’re gonna look into it.

    I make sure I don’t download more than I can chew and since I’m on a data cap of 350GB a month, it helps me enforce this. I’ve been at it for well over 25+ years so by this point, I’ve about acquired a lot of what I wanted so I’m in a little of my winding down period.

    Try not to listen to the pirates that just boast about themselves and their habits, they’re doing things you don’t know about and are probably above your skill since obviously you claim to be very new at this.

      I’ve been pirating for decades and never gave af how much I download in a day. Several hundred gigs on a weekend isn’t unusual. Never got an ISP letter or had any issues, because I use private trackers.

      if they’re on a VPN, it doesn’t matter if their ISP looks into it. and with the plethora of streaming apps out there today, it’s uncommon if a customer isn’t downloading dozens of GB of data every day. just a single movie on netflix is several GB right there, and if you’re the sort of person who is bingwatching shows, you’re going through dozens, maybe even a hundred or more gigabytes daily if you’re a real couch potato.

      and if your ISP did care enough to investigate why you were using a VPN, all you would have to do it tell them you’re watching netflix and there’s nothing they can do to prove otherwise unless your VPN is shit and is leaking your DNS.
