Funds are limited at the moment and i’d rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about.
i’m not in the US, if that changes anything

    I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve heard that using a good private tracker is safe without a vpn

      It’s safe as long as nobody breaks the rules. If law enforcement or copyright holders really wanted a login they could probably get an invite from somebody. The weak link in security is always going to be a person.

      Once they infiltrated a private tracker, they’d either have to hack them or download every torrent they want to and track down the seeders. 90% of the seeders would probably be in a different country so, is it really worth their effort? They’re not going to get the people ripping the shows and movies.

      So yes, I think getting caught on a private tracker is possible. Perhaps not probable.
