Today I got a notice from my internet provider starlink saying that I need to stop torrenting. When I was browsing torrenting sites for the latest episode of House of the Dragon I was using a VPN that is baked into my browser nordvpn specifically. Nordvpn allows torrenting my internet provider starlink is against it. What I think happened was when my torrent program took the torrent and started downloading it wasn't downloading through the nordvpn app because I didn't turn it on, I just forgot. And it clearly wasn't using the VPN add-on through Chrome I don't think it would anyway. With that being said is there a known safe way for me to continue torrenting on my Linux desktop which is running pop OS by the way without getting caught by my internet provider starlink? Or should I be okay as long as I don't forget to turn the Nord app on before hand?

Giving you any help on this would appear to contravene this rule as it would be encouraging you to commit piracy:
• While discussions about piracy are allowed, linking to pirated resources, encouraging users to pirate, or naming websites that enable piracy is not allowed.```@keen wagon can you confirm whether my interpretation of this rule is too strict of not?

we're giving you no help on this
#etiquette v11 tells you
Do not ask for support on pirated/illegal software.
and i think that carries over to movies as well

Giving you any help on this would appear to contravene this rule as it would be ...
also this is only about telling the person, publicly, how to pirate
speaking about it is fine, as long as you don't name names
