I torrent without any protection or vpn, its legal here
That's great for you and the community, as you aren't torrenting over TOR 👍
Does TOR have some utility for the average tech people? Just curious I havent used it.

Damn, I feel like an idiot for not googling it now xD
That's an old site though. So, you can find more information with another search.
If you enjoy drugs that's probably the most use you'll get out of it besides what the other guy said abt using it when vpns are blocked by ur network
Great for privacy. So great, that half the internet won't let you browse, because they can't sell you data for money.
Uh, "journalism"
If vpns are blocked on the network you are on, tor usually has a way to work.
Same here. Whilst torrent sites themselves are blocked, once you get the magnet link/torrent via a proxy/VPN, there is no issue. I do not think anyone has ever received a cease and desist letter from their ISPs here. But then, I think, this is the case for many countries outside of the developed world.
Where are you
Canada? Idk the actual legality but I've been torrenting bare for nearly two decades and have only received two meaningless warnings from my ISP in that time.
Tends to only work in small towns. I never recieved a letter or warning until I moved to Vancouver, and then got one within a month
I'm not in a small town but no where near Vancouver. VPN is probably still good practice.
And I'm so sorry
Don't worry. They'll reply with their location once the daily power outage is over.
