my brother 👏 our authorities are too busy using pirated software to crack down on it. can’t imagine some people live in countries where anyone gives half a shit about piracy.
There are a few free ones that some like to use. ProtonVPN is an example.I am currently using Nord(paid). However I cant atest to the security of any of them. I have had no issues with Nord.

Probably a dumb noob question, but shouldn’t one use a VPN for privacy when torrenting? Wouldn’t that add additional cost?
You can also torrent on i2p for added slowness and privacy. Usually fast enough.
I use a free VPN (Windscribe’s free 15 GB) from time to time if I’m torrenting something very new. Otherwise I don’t use one.
Some countries just don’t care (even if they have laws on piracy), no vpn needed.
You can get reputable VPNs for very cheap. Windscribe provides unlimited bandwidth for a minimum of $3 a month and Mullvad is $5 a month.
Usenet typically requires more expensive fees to join.
Live in a third world country and all software is free software. No strings attached
