You!ve got your tools all set up, so now you!re ready to
pirate? Not so fast! There!s a little bit of set up you need to do.
First of all if you!re using qBittorrent, open it up, go to Tools #
Options # BitTorrent and check Enable Anonymous Mode. This
enables some extra security features to help mask your IP and
such. I!m not sure if other Bittorrent clients have a similar option
so you may need to do a little research. Then shut down your
Bittorrent client.
This next part is incredibly important:
// BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR BITTORRENT CLIENT,
OPEN AND CONNECT TO YOUR VPN. //
Always make sure you connect to your VPN before you open
your BitTorrent client, and ALWAYS CHECK THAT YOU ARE
ACTUALLY CONNECTED BEFORE TORRENTING.
So, now you!ve connected to your VPN and opened your
Bittorrent client, you!re ready to pirate! But where does one find
pirated software on the internet? You!ll have to do some
searching around, but there are plenty of torrenting sites around.
If you search something like %whatever torrent! you!ll probably
find something. But please please PLEASE do not use google to
search, google sucks and logs so much data its terrifying. Use
DuckDuckGo, it doesn!t log anything. Fuck google.

act as a mini-server, everyone downloading and re-uploading the
file share bits of the file between each other. Because of the way
BitTorrent handles files by chopping them up and sharing the
download and upload between all users it!s a popular choice for
sharing large files.
The software for torrenting tends to be free, and I would
personally recommend qBittorrent because it!s open source and
unlike some of the popular clients like uTorrent, it doesn!t have

>>VPN<<
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and it basically
obscures your location and network traffic by routing it through a
sever, or series of servers, somewhere else in the world and
encrypting the data. This is important because it stops your
internet service provider from seeing what you!re doing, and it
obscures your IP address, which is an identifier for your network
(though it doesn!t identify your personal device, thats a MAC
address that does). This is important because the IP address is
what gets people caught because it is publicly visible in
BitTorrent clients for everyone that is downloading or seeding a

There are so many VPNs to choose from, so it!s important to
choose wisely. The whole impetus of choosing your VPN is that
you don!t trust your ISP, so you have to make sure you trust your
VPN. Some of the things you!re looking for are that it doesn!t
require personal information and it has a minimal data retention
policy, and you want one that is outside of the jurisdiction of any
of the 5 Eyes Countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New

My VPN recommendation is Mullvad. It!s based in Sweden
