I'm absolutely not paying for more than one streaming service so I decided to find some streams/torrents instead to consume my slop. What VPNs do you recommend to do this anonymously? I don't mind paying a bit for a monthly fee.

    I don't know what your use case is but in general this seems like a bad idea to me, I can hardly think of any reason this would be better than a vpn

    All your traffic is still tied to a single endpoint, except now (not sure about this) your traffic would be the only thing that is coming from that endpoint, making it easier for an adversary to profile you or for feds to assert in a court that this traffic came from you. You are still paying for a third party service so the same concerns about this party knowing your identity exist as with a vpn (through payment details, ip address, email address used to sign up). There is no guarantee that a vps provider doesn't monitor internet traffic as well.

    If you are just using it to torrent none of this probably matters but a vpn is more convenient. (I didn't watch the whole video and I'm not an expert so take it how you want)
