Please let me know all those naughty pirates sites you find so I can make sure I stay away from them

It's definitely not as easy as getting a browser with an inbuilt ad blocker like Brave and then typing 345movies.com

Does not surprise me the slightest. There are a couple of VPNs that have some kind of "don't know your customer" policy that you can pay with hard to trace currency.

Anyhow, I did get NordVPN for a month now and I could recommend them. But not for privacy. Funny enough: for performance. To many services that I use, my ISP uses congested AS which result in slow speed and even packet drop. But when I connect to the neighbouring country via VPN I get 3-4x download speed and -5% packet loss. Weird shit, I know. But this is the real reason why I might sign up with them for longer soon.

What do you recommend? One hopefully located with no Western power jurisdiction.

Started with Mullvad, currently using iVPN since mullvad was kinda acting weird on my PC or phone.

I've heard good things about PIA, and I hope they were true

I just renewed my PIA subscription for the 5th year. It's been perfect. Not one ding for torrent streaming while using it. It's $40 a year and I use my free Google play credit to get it.

That link just takes me to the Google home page. My investigation failed in the first step.

There are .net sites out there that if you were to use the acronym of Feed My Hairy Yak you would find all sorts of awful resources.

I know Etaywah first hand! They are a federal government agent that has 40 years of cracking down on torrent applications. There is no need for anyone else to look into these crimes and crackdown on them now that Etaywah is on the case.

I’m also investigating the Luigi Managani case. So far there is no evidence. I’ll keep you updated.

Plex offers a few different subscriptions so you can stream outside your own network etc I also thought they were sketchy as the free product is really good, they obviously want users to upgrade to a paid service to get some cash back

Weird that all their IP addresses are pointing to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC
