There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:

  • Cheap
  • Quick & Easy Setup
  • Run on any device (Exception for iOS but you can get around this with Stremio Web + VLC)
  • Whole Movie + TV Shows catalog to browse. Seeing trending items is handy.

Only issue I have had is niche Movies or TV Shows just do not have a Real-Debrid entry to stream so I'll have to manually search, but this is rare.

      I'm in Australia and no VPN for stremio because I use real-debrid. As I understand it I'm just direct downloading from there. If I didn't have RD and had to torrent for stremio I'd use a VPN for sure.

        Greetings from across the ditch, I never use vpn for torrents as it's not actively monitored here at the moment. Is that different over there?

          Few years back around Dallas Buyers Club there was a big crackdown and ISPs brought in this 3 strikes rule. People got some letters and warnings.

          So I'm not sure what it's like these days but why take a chance?

            Yeah good point. As I just subbed to Easynews which comes with free PrivadoVPN, just configured qbittorrent to use Privado :) Super easy with Docker and https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun
