How do you watch moves while staying private? (lemmy.ml)

As the title says, how do you pirate your movies while staying private?

I currently use one of the multiple 123movies websites to watch all my movies. But I'd like to not have my IP on their servers, so I use the tor network to connect to them. Now, as you can imagine, this is very slow and far from ideal. Most free VPNs have blocked the websites, and I do not want to pay for one. I thought about torrents, but found no way to do that privately either. Then I thought about Startpages "Anonymous view" feature, but that breaks the website I use.

So, how do you do it? I need some inspiration. Thanks in advance.

Idk if it would help, but you might like mov-cli, if you don't want to use the sites: https://mov-cli.github.io/

Though, all it does is just scrape all those sites, so I guess you're still connecting to them

I had never heard of this before. Installed it in Termux on Android. Some dependencies were missing, but after installing them along the way, it worked in the end! What a cool little tool. Streaming seemed to be working well. However, when I tried using the download features, the speeds seemed to stall. It took maybe 30 min to download 8 mins of video (a few 100 MB, ~25% of the size of the files I tried). I force killed the processes, which left temp incomplete files. I found and removed them using these commands:

ls

to list the files in the termux dir,

followed by:

rm filename.mp4

to remove the file

...after which the size of my Termux app decreased, as expected.

Maybe the site has rate limiting to prevent scraping? I've never used mov-cli myself
