It seems so stupid that I'm like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don't want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don't want to "sign up."

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I'm not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that's enough.

I got a pretty letter from speck_t_rum once.

Been a paranoid ever since.

Should’ve had a VPN up!

I don't see how thats relevant.

VPN will encrypt your traffic so your ISP can't spy on you. That's the whole point of a VPN.

But I wasn't even talking about vpns. Just private trackers and how to get into them.

It said stop torrenting or face a biiiig fine. I’ll try and follow the guides to avoid this but I’m still a bit paranoid. Maybe I was loooking for reassurance that vpn and private trackers are good enough.

I torrented stuff on spectrum for years through a VPN without issue. Just make sure your torrent client is bound to the VPN network adapter only to prevent leaks.
