It's 2023. Use a VPN at all times.
But torrenting on a vpn costs money, which is why some people are torrenting to begin with.
Having your own internet connection costs money too. If being absolutely free is a requirement, go without a VPN on the McD's free wifi.
You could also just do the pirate streaming options with a free tier VPN like proton.
Being fined also costs money.
I don't think you can get fined for streaming over a VPN, especially since you're not distributing.
Depends on the country. Anyway, this thread is about torrenting without a vpn, not streaming with one. With torrents you are distributing.
