Too broke to get a VPN. (lemmy.ml)

I am into torrenting movies- alas no money to get a VPN, What else can I do? I don't really need a VPN because I live in a third world country and I don't get no lettters if I sail the seas, I was searching for any other ways to hide my IP address from the swarm, without loosing much speed?

I came across this Tribler client, I don't know if its good, Should I try Socks5 proxy or something like that?

Or tell me if the only good method is using a VPN, in that case I should wait out a couple years until I make money and remote torrent by making like 15 accounts in TorBox.

I will apologize, if I said something stupid in advance because I severly lack any knowledge in what I am talking about.

OP, you seem to have a lot of requirements for someone who isn’t willing to spend any money on a VPN. You either trust the VPN provider or you don’t. If you aren’t paying for it, assume your traffic is being monitored and monetized somehow.

You asked about VPNs, people gave you options, and it looks like you’ve turned down every one of them. A free unlimited VPN with no strings attached that allows torrenting at high speeds does not exist. You may as well be searching for a unicorn.

I know I am looking for a unicorn lol, I was not really looking for a VPN anyway I know it simply doesn't exist, I turned down most of them because I did try them all, I came to the realization to not gaf and torrent without a VPN.
