First, child services has been called on multiple occasions and has done nothing. The police don’t care either. They’re disabled so they can’t just leave.
They have a laptop that they can use whenever they want but their patent is extremely opposed to piracy and won’t pay for my friend to buy movies or a streaming service. They watch DVDs from the library on their laptop.
They’re also not tech savvy so I need a plug and play solution that will allow them to pirate media without anyone else in the household being aware of it.
Whatever you do, be careful not to fuck it up.
I once got me a VPN, set up my bittorrent, and started downloading through the VPN.
…Or so I thought.
It wasn’t until I got a warning letter from my ISP that I figured out I’d fucked up my VPN configuration and I had been torrenting over an open internet connection.
Are you set up to pirate content yourself at your own house? If it were me, I’d set up a VPN on your own network (with OpenVPN or something) and have your friend set up a VPN client and connect to your network. From there, you just allow the VPN to access your own Plex (or whatever).
If your friend wants to see anything in particular, either you have your Plex set up to download what they want on request or just have them ask you to download it and make it available in the usual way.
Under those circumstances, if something went wrong, the wrongest it could go is that your friend failed to gain access to the content. The chances their household might receive a warning letter or whatever are about as close to zero as they can possibly get.
This is why you configure your torrent client to only connect on the tunnel adapter. No tunnel, no interface, no ISP flags.
And then double check it all using ipleak.net
That’s what I’m getting at, though. I thought I had.
