I am into torrenting movies- alas no money to get a VPN, What else can I do? I don’t really need a VPN because I live in a third world country and I don’t get no lettters if I sail the seas, I was searching for any other ways to hide my IP address from the swarm, without loosing much speed?

I came across this Tribler client, I don’t know if its good, Should I try Socks5 proxy or something like that?

Or tell me if the only good method is using a VPN, in that case I should wait out a couple years until I make money and remote torrent by making like 15 accounts in TorBox.

I will apologize, if I said something stupid in advance because I severly lack any knowledge in what I am talking about.

    The built in Firefox VPN? Can you use that system wide though or just the browser?

      Does VPN protect my whole device?

      No. The built-in VPN only hides your IP address and location while browsing in Firefox. It does not protect traffic from other apps on your device. For full-device protection, we offer Mozilla VPN.

      Since you said you don’t need it for torrents, I thought this would suffice. But I realize now you still want to hide your IP while torrenting.
