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.

I don't understand what you are asking. You don't need a VPN since you lube in a third world country that does not care and piracy.

Then torrent movies without a VPN.

OP wants privacy from the swarm.

Can someone explain what this “swarm” is to someone who knows pretty much fuck all about computer hardware and software and is semi interested in setting sail? I’ve downloaded music for free my whole life with no issues or letters in the mail (Usa)

If you are really interested:

Swarm specifically: The general collective working together so you (the leech in this case) can complete the download and (best case) take over a part of the seeding pool.
