Have you tried using a VPN? I installed the free ProtonVPN I got with protonmail and half the internet stops working. VPNs look like bots with high exit traffic so they are blocked. Plus countries are cracking down on exit nodes.

As long as there’s a tpb mirror in the working half the point stands.

The previous poster said their VPN doesn’t work. How exactly does “the point stand” with actual evidence that it doesn’t?

Because torrent sites aren’t going to be blocking vpns as much as other things probably

I actually have ProtonVPN works fine. But if that's problem for you:

1. You can use VPN only when you need to use it.

2. "split tunnening" You can configure VPN to be used only for some programs, like those you use torrenting programs.

3. You can build your own mini-PC/RasPi "TV box" with VPN, storage for programming, connected to television. I wonder if there is not already ready software package for that.
