    I switched back to nzb full time last week. Don’t need to run a VPN and it is more stable. It’s still cheaper than streaming with 2 paid indexers and 2 paid servers.

      Paid indexers? Isn’t everything on the DHT anyhow? And a VPN is only $2/mo.

        I do stremio + torrentio addon + real Debrid.

        Interface and features on par with any modern streaming service (continue watching, new episode alerts, library, categories, search etc), every show and movie all in one app, full speed, no need for VPN or worry about seeds (I’ve found shows with 0 seeds that work because it was cached on real Debrid) for $3/month.

        Also supports a ton of devices/TV’s. Dead simple to use once it’s set-up, my parents and in laws both use it with no issue on Chromecast with Google TV after I set it up for them.

        Oh and if you don’t want to pay you can forget real Debrid and it’ll still stream torrents at the cost of slightly worse loading times (but entirely usable, I did it for 3 years) but if you live somewhere that you feel the need to use a VPN for that, unless you also use the VPN for something else putting that money into real Debrid instead is worth it.
