As the title says, how do you pirate your movies while staying private?

I currently use one of the multiple 123movies websites to watch all my movies. But I’d like to not have my IP on their servers, so I use the tor network to connect to them. Now, as you can imagine, this is very slow and far from ideal. Most free VPNs have blocked the websites, and I do not want to pay for one. I thought about torrents, but found no way to do that privately either. Then I thought about Startpages “Anonymous view” feature, but that breaks the website I use.

So, how do you do it? I need some inspiration. Thanks in advance.

    Buy a 2 year VPN subscription. Any free service raises the question of how it is funding itself. If you aren’t paying you’re the product.

      While that would probably work, as I already said, I do not want to pay for one. It’s less about the money but more about that I’d have to give them all my information - my name, credit card details and so on. And I am not willing to do that, as a VPN is only private until the government or whoever asks for all your data, which would include the Website and the fact that I visited it.

          Thanks, that might be an idea. I would still definitely prefer a way to do it for free, but as a last option, I’ll look into this. Edit: Just found out that it costs €5 per month, no matter what. I could almost buy Netflix from that…

            I cancelled cable TV ($100) , Netflix (which in Canada is $16+tax without ads) and Prime (it’s too easy to buy stuff there as well, I’m trying to support more local stores), downgraded my Internet to 150Mbps because I calculated my usage and discovered I was paying for speeds I very rarely really needed, MMORPG gaming is less than 1Mbps, streaming HD <10Mbps, streaming 4K <30Mbps (though I don’t do that), instead I only pay for Mullvad and cheaper Internet. I save a lot every month from that perspective.

            In addition I occasionally need Mullvad for other things than bittorrent, like to access websites in other countries/etc. It can be handy to have a VPN sometimes.

        Proton VPN. They’re pretty transparent with their free tier. Collects nothing and nothing has sold, the paid users subsidise it
