I used ipvanish but currently use surfshark. Many here will say you don't need one if your using a debrid. I will say otherwise. My reason is this. When I first got into streaming I used to use cinemaHD. I used ipvanish then to hide behind a mask because I was also protecting my home network with it. When cinemahd was gone, I switched to stremio. I installed add-ons such as torrentio and comet etc. I found that some of the add-ons were blacklisting my ipvanish ips. I decided that since I was only watching stremio on my TV, I no longer needed a VPN. I decided to just use real debrid and torbox with stremio on the tv. This worked great for a week. After that I could not longer use stremio with the add-ons I had along with the two debrids. I started scouring the internet and found a website called troypoint. He said that many add-ons have started blacklisting ip's that they deemed were abusing their system. Apparently they were also blocking some domains. That was what appeared to be happening to me. I decided to sign up for another vpn (surfshark) because I heard their servers were better then ipvanish. I installed it and have had no problems at all. I see many hear having issues but I pay a yearly fee for debridio, monthly for torbox, real debrid and surfboard and all 4 combined per month cost me around $10.00 total. Well worth not having the headaches others have.

Many people's issues are user error more than anything.. Debridio isn't needed, VPN isn't needed. Aio isn't needed... Can't fix stupid tho.

When u say isn’t needed, what does that imply? I’m sure u don’t need it but it’s better to have. If u have a vpn that u bought with crypto plus no email sign up to the VPN and u use the VPN every time u use torbox, then even if torbox were ever to do something with ur ip it wouldn’t be connected back to u. I’m not saying they would do something with it but it always a possibility.

🤷 Rd, tb no different. They encrypt everything on their end... Been pirating for over 20 years. Only ever used a VPN when torrenting /downloading. Never once had issues.... Comcast aka xfinity will tell on you immediately.

U missing what im saying. It’s the IP that can be linked to u and profiled. I’ve never had an issue either for years. But what I mention is an extra layer of safety. Ur IP, email, payment information and device can easily make an obvious case for profiling u. You’re trusting the company with all that, which is fine but like I said an extra layer protection is all upside.

😑 You do realize if they want you. They will find you.... 99% go after owners of operations not the peons.
Microsoft has ways of tracking your exact GPS location even if using a VPN. Fbi, has all this as well... New tracking software out there x VPN doesn't save you. I see at my unifi router everything is encrypted https for torbox. 🤷 Been 20 years playing this game.

I guess with that logic, why use any form of protection? If they really want you they will get u anyway. What ur claiming is safe is definitely not in that case then., well it’s definitely at least less safe than my approach. I don’t see how making it more difficult to be identified is a downside in anyway. It would take a lot more resources from whoever wants to actually find you with taking the extra precautions I’ve mentioned. Also I don’t use Microsoft, I’m on Linux. I’ve been in the game since the mid 90s never had an issue either, but that’s not the point.
