Lesson: either get a seedbox, get a VPN in Amsterdam, or live in South/South-east Asia.
Is there a way to get and pay seedboxes anonymously? Otherwise the feds could “just” get your information from them. Like with every VPN service you got to trust the the service and their confidentiality (not keeping logs etc) I guess?
Even if you do pay them anonymously, your IP will be recorded when you access/download from them. Case in point: Mullvad was forced to shut off port-forwarding because of torrent traffic on their network. Mullvad allows you to pay with Monero.
Don’t do it for the privacy, do it because having the server in a different country like the Netherlands makes it easier to pirate. For all they know, you’re just accessing random IPs in the Netherlands and all they see is HTTPS traffic.
That’s the thing, you’d have to connect to the seedbox via VPN anyways.
I’m using usenet anyway, always have, always will ;-)
