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.

I download everything from a private torrent tracker, and stream with plex. It's all a pretty well oiled machine. I can use a browser or an app to search for a movie then shortly after I'm streaming to my tv from my nas

Interesting. What is that "private torrent tracker"? How exactly do you download from it?

It's a website that's managed by a community of pirates. It's invite-only (meaning you have to be invited by an existing user) and you will have your membership revoked if you don't follow certain rules (mostly about seeding). The .torrent files you get from them are specific to that private tracker, so no one who's not also a member of the same site can see which files you're seeding.
