Is it possible to safely torrent without a VPN?
Funds are limited at the moment and i'd rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about.
i'm not in the US, if that changes anything

eleitl @lemmy.ml Without VPN or Usenet subscription it's going to be difficult and/or illegal.

I don't think using a VPN gets you out of the illegal part, lol.

Gets you out of the consequences part though, which is good enough.

6 1 Replyeleitl @lemmy.ml Interesting, wasn't aware. It remains illegal in Germany then, as long as you seed. Notice in Germany you will receive a nastygram in any case as long as you've been identified as a member in a swarm, even if you do not seed. It would be interesting if someone would contest that, though you will likely lose since technical details don't matter in most courts.
