I have been doing torrents + VPN for years now and thinking about switching.
Is usenet and debrid safe to use without a VPN in the UK? What about other piracy streaming sites?
From what I understand it’s cheaper to use a VPN than have debrid + usenet + private indexers but I am not sure.
I have heard some questionable justifications as to why it’s safer such as it being encrypted (torrents can also be encrypted). Are the index sites also safe? I have heard it both ways about this. Including people saying index sites are not encrypted which they normally are.
Mullvad currently but NordVPN also worked. Not sure what debrid service your using but rd has a page that lists compatible VPN services
I just look at that website you mentioned but what do they mean by cooperative? I don’t think you will get in trouble by using Real Debrid is just a server and they are hosting the media you are just downloading it from them
