Can using Tor to watch free Animes from free Anime Websites make us vulnerable to Authorities ? in Germany

lol yes that is quite funny :sweat_smile:. , and what if i download a video by IDM( internet download manager) and not by Torrent from Aniworld, is that traceable ? i mean is it safe as compared to downloading stuff from torrenting and getting fined ?

lol :sweat_smile:, i didnt get what you said, can you please elaborate bitte

As long as youre just streaning content on such sites youre mostly safe even without Tor or VPN or whatever, atleast here in germany. Using a cheap free vpn will lower the risks even more.

As long as you are not the one providing the content to others no one in germany will care

ā€œI heardā€ always sounds a bit vague to me. If you have reliable sources that clearly mention that, kindly provide them. Until then, I’m sure you’ll be safe.

Also, don’t confuse ā€œTorā€ with ā€œTorrentā€. And assuming you do know the difference, don’t combine the two either.

Have you even tried? It’s slow and often encumbered by captchas or downright blocked by the streaming service.

Prosecution usually isn’t an issue. However some ( I’m not throwing out names here but it’s no secret how scummy they are :rofl: ) will pressure service providers to threaten you. These are almost always meaningless, but if your ISP is constantly being hounded by them about you they may terminate your service to not have to deal with the headache. Some stream services do use P2P networks and will upload when you’re viewing.

Tldr ; don’t worry about it.

i have heard that people get fined if get caught

I think he mean normal website and not darkweb

I also live in Germany, I can say that I understand your question wrong because you wrote free anime on free sites. If you mean a content you have to pay for but you want to watch it illegaly tor might not be the best option for you.
I know some people who got fined but not because they stream it but download it. Avoid torrent at all cost because you will definitely get fined.
I don’t know anyone who got fined streaming, i did in the past not anymore so don’t really take my word for it. Streaming is a bit more invisible than downloading it.

Direct download is pretty safe, but ask yourself if you are just paranoid or if your country is really hard on pirating

I don’t know what IDM is actually doing with Aniworld.

I used Video Download Helper (Website) (FFX Addon) in the past for downloading from streaming sites, it takes video streams from the page and stitches the pieces of the stream together to a single video file. This kind of downloading is the same as a person watching the stream.

Keep in mind that those streams are usually a way lower quality than regular downloads.

15 years per episode!

Before downloading something from torrent (NOT PUBLIC TORRENTS ). I always do a dns leak test in browser and qbittorrent . I’ve changed settings in qbittorrent to download always when vpn is active . If the vpn connection drops it will stop . I use ExpressVPN , Proton is also good but i wanted something out from EU :grin: . I think ProtonVPN has a free plan … Try ipleak.net

:rofl: i mean the laws in Germany for data protection are some of the strictest stii i think they sell all my data and they snoop all traffic because,why not . That’s why i use a VPN for all my traffic. I also block the Ads on my tv with ip from countries that don’t support google ads like Cuba or encrypted dns

thansk now i understand

Bro, do you know a cheap free vpn??

I use tor to stream on swashbuckling websites :sweat_smile:
