I’ve seen a lot of posts about how to watch new and old movies and shows for free. This is for you, guys!

Stremio and Cloudstream offer cord-cutters a way to stream movies, TV shows, and web series for free, they do so by aggregating pirated content, making them alternatives to mainstream paid streaming services.

You can get all your entertainment in one place, like Netflix.

    Netflix. Hulu. Disney. Prime. Long ago, the 4 streaming services I used to pay for lived in harmony on my monthly bill. Then, everything changed when big tech attacked.

    Only my old gaming rig, master of all computing elements, could stop them. But when streaming needed my money the most, it vanished.

    Nobody had seen the gaming rig for like several years, until I found him; an i5 rig for Plex. The problem is, this rig needs more hard drives, and even though this rig is capable, it has a lot to learn before he’s ready to replace all the streaming sites.

    Big tech and streaming sites will do anything to capture my funds, so I must keep him safe with a VPN until he’s ready to fulfill his destiny. My wife thinks I’m crazy, but I believe my Plex server can save the world.

    I use real Debrid with no vpn. Probably not ideal, but I feel its safer than torrenting without a vpn.

    Friendly reminder to build from source and not execute unknown .exes if you’re a windows user. It is very common for a program to be “open source” in theory but add unwanted stuff in their official executables. Those programs look alright, but never hurts to be careful.

        I mean, fair, but mostly I’m asking: Can I set this up for my mom, who can’t be trusted to reliably use a VPN?

          Mullvad vpn is one of the few if you actually give a shit about privacy

          If you just want ISPs to have an excuse to play dumb to what you’re doing then the usual suspects are pretty much fine. Just don’t expect them to offer even a sliver or privacy from any governmental agencies (basically true for all of them although some make it policy to make it as impossible as they can to prevent nefarious (under guise of benevolence…) eavesdropping
