After my last post on here asking about convenient streaming options at higher resolutions, I got a few comments recommending Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid.

I ended up going through with that and streamed a 4k movie. That said, what's the catch? I'm a little paranoid because I'm not sure if this still counts as torrenting, and if I should be using a VPN while watching something from RD.

No such thing as free lunch, so I'm assuming there's other downsides to this solution, could someone let me know what they are?

Ive no experience using debrid nor seedbox services. Just responded saying what they described were more like seedbox than a VPN as the comment mentioned.

All good, just trying to get the right info out there for anyone wondering the same.
