If your IPS and the local authorities will not do anything if you download, upload and publish anything, what is the bare minimum of security measures you can do? Context: I live in Southamericas, here we have worse thing to deal with.
I just don’t care about any of that at all. I have around 100TB of seeding accumulated over the years, no VPN, zero security measures, nothing ever happened at all.
I’ve personally been doing this for many years, seeding all sorts of nasty stuff and no one that I know has ever gotten so much as an email.
Feel free to use no privacy measures, but at least setup an alert so you know if your country’s police decides to start persecuting pirates.
I recommend u setup a Google alert with a query like “YOUR-COUNTRY-HERE arrestan pirateria”. So if a news article that matches that query ever gets posted online, you’ll instantly get an email
How tf did I never heard of this Google feature ? thanks
Don’t worry, it’s probably going to be killed soon like all good Google products
I wouldn’t worry about that. Google has had this feature for a VERY VERY long time.
You can see many Google services have been deleted even after 10 years of service :(
I’d say say at least use a VPN. Most of the suggested security practices are easy enough there’s really no reason not to…
Why would you use a VPN? What’s the advantage, aside from not letting my ISP know what I’m doing?
Not just ISPs, the end user and other peers in the case of torrenting also will not know who or where you are.
Getting to regions blocked content is a bonus that most VPN services will provide.
