I’m trying to figure how to get around the ISP piracy detection. (I wanted to pirate Daria to get a specific voiceline for a SRB2Kart Daria mod.)

Last time I pirated Daria; my ISP found out. (In hindsight it seemed obvious; viacom is a copyright douchebag; I was utilizing torrents; and I didn’t use tor.) Fortunately, I use a different network (AT&T (ugh)) instead of comcast.

    A decent VPN provider will also take care of changing your DNS options (through their app, but if you want to use manual configuration, they would provide a configuration file or just instructions to follow).

      Yeah, through their dns. Of which they are free to log and analyze at their pleasure. I’m not saying VPN provieders dont have their place but why pay for something that is likely also collecting data on you.

      Another reason VPNs can be helpful is if you’re using some dirty public trackers that are easy for whatever copyright agency to collect data on. I’m not saying this never happens on private trackers but its much less of a concern. I would definitely suggest getting a seedbox before paying a vpncompany if you’re worried about that, But ops question was justaboutt their ISP snooping so secure DNS should be plenty fine for that. They’ll know you’re torrenting but won’t know what it is.
