I know but what you specifically want is not possible. But yet again it doesn’t matter because you don’t need a VPN when you use a Debrid service.
At this point you’re just harassing me to be a pendantic asshole. So I’m going to do what’s best for my mental health and dip out of this conversation. You are exhausting. ✌️

And I’m telling you that you don’t have to if you use a Debrid service.
But if you insist: all you gotta do set it up on the DNS level. Find out the IP needed to connect to your VPN via DNS, then change your TV’s DNS servers to that IP in its internet connection settings.

I use SponsorBlock for more than just skipping sponsored segments. It’s also useful for skipping intros, “like and subscribe” messages, and other general annoyances in most YouTube videos. Once you get used to it, you can’t go without.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 week ago:
I would but my issue with that is that SponsorBlock doesn’t work on downloaded videos.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 week ago:
Same. When I opened the Stats for Nerds pop-up, I noticed that I was being throttled to 1500kbps. Anything above 720p was unplayable this week.
But apparently the Ublock Origin devs yet again figured out another workaround, because streaming speeds are back to normal for me as of yesterday.

My 9th grade Spanish teacher taught us how to remember how to say who/what/when/where/why in Spanish by putting it to the tune of Jingle Bells. To this day that’s the only thing I remember from Spanish class, so yes I can confidently confirm that they work:
🎵 Por qué, why,
Quando, when,
Qué, what; donde, where.
Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
Quien está, who is there?
Cuál! 🎵🎵 Por qué, why,

Again, you don’t need a VPN if you follow my guide. Your reading comprehension is worse than mine.

- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 week ago:
Are you using a Debrid service with it? It’s a much better experience if you are. Give Real-Debrid a try with Stremio. It’ll change your opinion.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 week ago:
Again, not an issue if you use a Debrid service, because no files are being uploaded.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 week ago:
Exactly, which is why you don’t need a VPN if you use a Debrid service. No files are being uploaded. The Debrid service handles that for you by downloading the torrent to a remote server, than giving you a direct download link to the file. Nothing is being uploaded from your end.

No problem. It’s a classic from my meme collection that is so vintage, it predates smartphones. I needed a good excuse to dust it off.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 week ago:
I’m not the person to ask this kind of question to. I use DNS-level tracking protection in my router (via NextDNS), but I’m not a privacy expert.
If you’re living in a country where censorship is a thing and/or privacy is of upmost importance, then you should still use a VPN in addition to a Debrid service. Or you can nix the Debrid and just use a VPN if you don’t mind more buffering and all the downsides that come with torrents. (VPNs can be setup to run on a TV through DNS settings either on your router or TV itself, though this may not be 100% secure. Again, I’m not an expert.)

If you live in an area where you need a VPN to keep your ISP off your ass, well you’re in luck because the Torrentio plug-in is compatible with Debrid services (Real-Debrid is a good one). They’re cheaper than a VPN (less than €3/mo) and get you direct downloads which ISPs don’t care about since you’re not distributing files like you would with a torrent client. What’s nice is that they work with any torrent—not just video—so you can download wherever you want at 1gbps speeds so long as the torrent has at least one seed.
Setup is easy. The only thing you need to do is install the Stremio app on your TV, then open it and install the Torrentio plug-in. From there you configure your preferences like preferred resolution, language, etc, enter your Debrid service credentials if you have them; after that you install additional plug-ins for the kind of content you want. I’d recommend starting off with the Streaming Catalogs (lists popular content from Netflix, Amazon, Disney HBO, etc.)and Trakt.tv plug-ins (recommends content based on your viewing habits). There’s also plug-ins for anime if that’s your thing. Once you install the plug-ins you like, the only thing left to do is pick something to watch and enjoy. :)
You can also download the Stremio app to your phone and configure everything from there if you don’t want to fumble with doing all of this with the TV remote. I’d recommend doing it this way so that all you have to do on the TV is fire up the Stremio app and enjoy.

I’ll add to #2 (IDK if it’s open source, though):
Give Stremio a try. Once you set it up (basically just add the Torrentio plug-in then whatever content catalogs you want), the workflow is much better and simpler than Plex.
You just browse it like Netflix: see something you want to watch, then stream it immediately. You don’t even have download the content beforehand. Could not be easier.

They do it to groups of people at a time to prevent mass anger and hysteria. Don’t worry you’ll eventually get throttled too.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
“Might”? They’re already doing it.
YouTube in Firefox with Ublock Origin is getting throttled down to 1500kbps. I can’t watch anything above 720p anymore.
YouTube ReVanced on mobile and SmartTube Next on the TV still thankfully work without issues.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
BotW and TotK are by far the worst Zelda games ever made. What’s the point of having a huge open world if there’s nothing to do in it? Plus there are no real dungeons and there’s barely a plot. It honestly blows my mind that people enjoy those games. Hell, TotK was so lazily slapped together that they couldn’t even bother creating a new map.

Yeah but who needs friends when you have millions of random strangers on the internet to talk to? The infrastructure issue is a problem that I’m too urbanized to understand. My neighborhood alone gives me the choice of cable, DSL, fixed wireless, and fiber. Move to a place like this, and you won’t need friends or these newfangled “con-souls”.
