How To Torrent Software Safely (For Dummies) (andscape.notion.site)

I wrote this post for a friend, I'm sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it'd be easier to write it down once. It's meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it includes a bunch of safety tips that are already known in this community.

If you have feedback, let me know and I'll update the post.

Does PIA have a free plan that works? Since the only free option was immediately debunked in these comments.

I wouldn't recommend using any free VPN for anything, personally.

I already have a paid one, but I wrote this for people who don't care enough to pay for one. Basically the alternative is either a free one or none. If I'm talking to a friend I'd rather they use a shady free VPN than none at all.

windscribe offers 10 GB/month free, and you can build a $3 custom monthly plan if you need more bandwidth

Yeah I've updated the post to have Windscribe as the recommended free one, with a warning about free VPNs
