I have a solution for everyone having problems.
Private Internet Access (specifically for port forwarding) in docker container networked with the below container QBitTorrent in a docker container
prowlarr to connect to private torrent websites
watch the community open signups for invites or just buy one, a good start is iptorrents or torrentday (same people).
attached the private torrent login to prowlarr
add sonarr or radarr to prowlarr and start downloading shows for free to your plex or whatever you wanna use. Use google or CHATGPT to figure out how to do all this shit. But honestly if they don't want to play fair, why should we. PIRACY FOR THE WIN!
The guy that owns private internet access bought freenode and basically killed it. And fuck all vpn services for that matter.

I totally agree that PIA is owned by a horrible company and is not exactly the greatest VPN but its port forwarding is crucial if you have any intention on staying compliant with private torrent community rules.(you must be connectable). Tell me of another VPN provider that provides this for a good price? Also, self hosting a vpn is the best idea except for if you are torrenting copyrighted material on it; don't try that on any vps providers.
Just pay for a seedbox
Yeah man, I'm sure you'll be able to convince the average person that your process is way easier than just launching an app.
Actually, now that its setup, its completely automated. "Renting" a movie is as easy as typing and and pressing request with overseer. As far as launching an app. I just turn on my smart tv and launch plex and BICKETY FUCKING BAM SLAM MAN my entire library shows up. Works fucking great and now I provide it to my entire family with no bullshit drama about password sharing, they each have their own accounts and everything. For those too lazy or stupid to figure it out, that is what streaming services are for.
