You can add shows/movies and initiate the downloads with a request in the app

Best move is to try to do pivpn installer again and when it says we found a pihole installation do you want to use pihole with pivpn say no. If it still breaks uninstall pihole, install pivpn l, then reinstall pihole

I’ve never had an issue with pihole (i run them on the same device). Pivpn ibstaller typically detects pihole and juat sets it up as pivpn dns but you could also have it not do this in the installer

The easiest way is with pivpn

Is there a guide somewhere on how top do that?

Thanks may have to try shelter since the camera thing has been an issue on insular and caused me to put ABSOLUTELY PROPREITARY apps on my main profile lol

I’ve been using insular which is basically the foss version of island

This masquerades as qbittorentt allows you to use RD with *arr

The easiest way would be to have rputer that can use a vpn connection so all private ips route thru the same vpn, but that may not be doable with all routers.

I dont really have much experience with chromecast and never used pia so i cant really help, but i assume it would be kind of difficult unless your vpn provider allows profiles that can force connection to a specific server.

Where i live if they catch you downloading they will give you a warning, too many warnings and they can shut your internet off. Although it mostly applies to torrents, streaming is hard for copyright owners to go after cuz the streaming ips aren’t public

In their defense debrid is the same cost as vpn

If both devices are using a vpn they need to be connected to the same server

In this case you are given a real debrid link for the stream which cannot be opened without am account. Meaning people can’t really tell what it is

I would say nord is not considered privacy respecting. At least not in the way things like mullvad or proton are?

Will nord or express work for pirating yes, are they actually private, we don’t really know.

Companies like mullvad offer no logging vpn whereas nord makes no such promise.

I honestly don’t know too much about nord but i think that’s the gyst of it

I can’t speak for germany but where i live downloaders dont ever get sued, they just get complaints from isps and if they get too many they may be shut off or have their speed throttled.

Uploaders get sued because its too costly and time consuming to go after the downloaders

Yes, i get that the best option would be for stremio to seed it but i don’t see how it would be feasible considering the low storage capacities of tvs.

The reality is i dont think this will kill torturing because leechers have always existed piracy is about providing things for free to others, can we really expect all the people who can’t afford to buy the media to suddenly be able to afford a vpn, seedbox, storage?

Piracy is like tor network, volunteers are the backbone but most users are leechers. The network has been going strong for years with leechers and it wont die now

I’m not so sure that this would hurt those tho. These services would require their to be at least 1 seeder to be able to stream it, so they arent really taking the seeder away. Most likely the seeder dropped.

If anything this would help the seeder by offloading downloading of the show else where and providing a second place for the file. Typically if you see a low seeded content that you like, it would be courteous to seed it after downloading it

But to answer your question, if there is a plugin with a torrent client included then it is most likely set up to download the files sequentially to allow streaming but i would assume it is set to turn upload off (so it leeches) because your tv would probably buffer more if it used additional bandwith

If thats the case (not 100%) then that may be why they are trying to block stremio

Ok, maybe stremio has a torrent client compiled in or maybe a plugin i dont use has one then.

However, if you turn off upload in your torrent client you can still get caught, uploading isnt want triggers it, connecting to peers with your exposed ip triggers

Gotcha, i only use the debrid links so my knowledge on this was how cinemahd used to do it in the past
