Some people just prefer to do so, others cannot afford a VPN just yet. There’s always a reason.
For example; I usually torrent but due to just being graduated, no job yet and so no income. I’ll resort to streaming sites for now.
Yeah, but I've never had one so ig I'm trying to learn and maybe help some who are having trouble.
VPN? I don't think I mentioned a VPN. If your WiFi has ISP busting your balls then use a different WiFi :)
Wifi is local and still connects to your ISP. And in some countries, ALL your ISPs are going to snitch on you when the authorities request your personal data based on your IP.
But it's honestly hard to decipher your comments, including your very first one. You act like you're trying to be helpful, but aren't, you're just condescending and not saying anything actually useful.
Talk about it being hard to decipher comments, what do you even mean by this?
If you use someone else's WiFi then it will connect to their ISP with their account details and should any trouble occur it will go back to them, not back to you.
Obviously don't hack the planet that way unless you're being 9 proxies as the cool kids used to say but for piracy or small dnm buys it's nothing.
Odd, I literally explained how to overcome all the issues thus far. Maybe you don't want to hear it idk why even keep replying then.
Coming from the guy who apparently expects people to hack into other people's wifi network, like as if that's the most normal thing to do, so that they are going to get in legal trouble. Asocial much (speaking of "cool community, eh)?
"Talk about hard to decipher comments." - Please form some coherent sentences if you want to communicate with other people.
You didn't. Or it's hidden somewhere in your incoherent babbling.
Yeah, I’m just saying there’s always a reason one might use a site instead of torrenting.
Never claimed you did. I only mentioned a VPN because that’s usually the case (at least in Europe like Germany and The Netherlands) and I assume also US?
The way you responded back makes me assume you feel agitated or offended.
Huh? No I am not agitated or offended.
And I haven't seen one yet is the thing.
Idk tbf, not needed in the UK.
Alright.
Yeah and you might not have “seen a reason” but others have, that’s the thing. Just because you see no reason to use it, others do. If they found a reason then it doesn’t matter whether you see a reason or not. As long as they do.
That’s great, I suppose.
Our conversation is going nowhere. It’s pretty much the same thing on repeat. So, I’ll stop responding after this message.
No that's not really how it works? There is either a reason or there isn't, I'm trying to find out what it is, idk why you're being so nasty bro but I don't need this shit
