Ok so it happened, I got the notice. Not proud of it but I really figured apples ( private relay) would act as a sorts of VPN. Clearly I have misunderstood. Going forward I am looking for VPN suggestions and any other safe guards you may have. Should I reset my MAC address should I complete other steps before simply purchasing a good VPN? Thanks!!
I’ll leave this up as an intellectual exercise, but just remember piracy is at your own risk and Starlink is well within their rights to terminate your account.
What were you downloading?
I’ve been using pia when I use streaming. Works ok
Nice of them to tell you the content owner that complained. /s
Tells you to contact the content owner directly, doesn’t tell you who or how to contact them.
Mullvad is a very hassle free VPN. Don’t even need an account. Pretty dang cheap too and you can choose how long you want to use it.
Surfshark on mikrotik is what I’m using for vpn connectivity. The protocol is wireguard.
Seedbox. Problem solved
Step 1.: Pay for a vps in a country where linux isos are more legal!
Step 2.: Use the vps for p2p and start collecting Linux ISOs!
Step 3.: Use VPN to the VPS to transfer your new linux ISOs via SFTP to your local machine
Step 3.1.: If you can’t vpn in, you can simply skip vpn part and use SFTP!
Step 4.: echo “Enjoy!” > /dev/null
Edit.: SFTP is private data flow, isps cant really break the code if they use packet sniffing as the data is being encrypted and you and your server is the only one who knows the rsa key.
just get a seedbox 
A VPN is always a good idea I you feel the need to keep anonymise your traffic as it passes through your ISPs network. Beyond that though, the VPN provider will ( unless they stop themselves ) know what type of traffic & where you are connecting to.
As to regenerating your device MAC addresses, that is of no practical use as they rarely leak beyond the nearest network boundary ( your router ). In rare cases involving they can be logged at the boundary & passed on to an external party. This can happen if the router is owned by your ISP & they feel the need to put limits on the number or type of connected devices.
I could give further technical advice on avoidance of a recurrence of such notices but that would not be a conversation for this subreddit.
Using Mullward with Qbittorrent with socks proxy and Starlink. No issues so far
seedbox, private torrent,vpn and ftp
Your MAC address is irrelevant to this. I assume you used a Mac and turned on private relay and assumed it would be enough since your post is short on details. Private relay only protects your IP address while browsing, you need whole device protection. I suggest paying for a private internet access account and using their software WITH THE KILL SWITCH TURNED ON which will mean you don’t leak your IP address to the world if the service goes down while you’re using it.
Starlink is legally obliged as an ISP to send you these letters, it doesn’t mean anything will happen after but they might use it as an excuse to end your contract.
NordVPN works really well for torrents. Great speeds — I can hit 1.5Gbps without issue, and 300TB of content without a single DMCA notice.
These containers are really good — they have Transmission and OpenVPN in a single container: GitHub - haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn: Docker container running Transmission torrent client with WebUI over an OpenVPN tunnel
Don’t use torrents. Or if you must use a seedbox.
So…… stop stealing. It’s that easy.
Let the downvotes commence.
So not downloading improperly is not an option? Works for me, I never get warnings
Wait what? Were you downloading shit on your phone? What were you doing lmao
