I thoroughly regret not building up a physical media library over the past decade to throw into Jellyfin or something to avoid all the streaming services. facepalm

Step 1: Get a reputable VPN.

Step 2: Install uBlock Origin.

Already have step 2, have any recommendations for VPN’s?

Proton VPN, Airvpn, and Mullvad are all reputable. Proton and Air have port forwarding if that's a requirement for you.

I use Proton VPN.

I spent years building a 20tb media archive. I got paranoid I might get caught so I turned my back up drives into encrypted Veracrypt volumes. Before I had a chance to transfer my stuff to them my piece of crap QNAP NAS died and I couldn't decrypt their proprietary RAID encryption.

Go open source kids!

I don't think you need to worry as much once you have the media. It's the act of downloading and sharing where people get caught.

I’m sorry for your loss. The media will remain in our hearts forever! But really, the rabbit hole for media server/NAS setups/RAID configs goes so deep I don’t know where to start or what to think sooo I just ignore it currently.

I did it just because my wife and I are brats. We didn't want to rely on Netflix's whims to carry our content of choice, so now we have all of it on our server.
