If your IPS and the local authorities will not do anything if you download, upload and publish anything, what is the bare minimum of security measures you can do? Context: I live in Southamericas, here we have worse thing to deal with.

Be ware of using VPN if you want spanish content and wanna join a private tracker; all spanish private tracker ban the use of VPNs

My advice is to check if your ISP is blocking you from access to the sites you plan to use and pick one that doesn’t. If you plan to use torrent check if your ISP is outside CG-NAT (or let’s you leave it) to enable port forwarding

If your country doesn’t care about piracy do not complicate your life further till they care, just stay up to date. As for measures I always use independantly of context, I just recommend using

  • Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript
  • Bitwarden or other password manager
  • A email relay services such as iCloud private relay or Duck email proxy
  • Flee of companies that sell your data, such as Google, Meta, Tiktok, etc

I've been pirating behind a cgnat for years. I get slightly fewer peers when I'm seeding (not that i seed all that much with my 8mbps upload), but apart from that there are no issues.
