I like to download a rare book now and then, but if practical I’d like to be safer about it.

    I use a VPN and a private DNS . i feel like thats plenty and I dont have any DNS leaks from my tests. I wouldn’t really trust mozzilla VPN a whole bunch but its probably fine. A real VPN provider is cheap, I’d get one. Ivpn or icevpn are good.

    I’ve never used a vpn for libgen but I understand the need to feel safe and that depends on your threat model. What are the realistic consequences of not using a vpn with libgen for you and does using a vpn mitigate them?
