    Jokes on you, I had the opposite experience. My roommate was messing with the Netflix app earlier in the day and somehow broke it. And was able to save the day by pulling the "Oh, well I already pirated the movie just in case" card on my date.

    I was bumming my roommate's Netflix subscription anyway, I wouldn't pay for that garbage.

      I use lookmovie2.to for most things. I use an ad blocker and pw manager. Idk seems fine. I'm not allowed to use a VPN so torrents aren't and option

        Whose watching to make sure you're not using a VPN?

          Remote work. plus I just don't want to either forget to turn it off or on. I left the client open all night and my ISP told me they would cut me off.

            You could set up a new user on your computer for torrents and use a VPN client that provides a killswitch

              Not sure how that would work, I can have 2 users using the same wireless card, one with a VPN and one not? Sounds complicated I'm not like itching to download anything since I can find free streams so easily

            Did you put the VPN credentials directly into the torrent client, and if so, which one? I've never had qbtorrent leak out the VPN for what that's worth. I know the desktop VPN clients will rugpull your connection at random.

              I just ran the software and qbtorrent by default doesn't exit when you close so it was still running after I closed the vpn

                Qbtorrent let's you put the proxy info directly into the settings, it's safer that way.
