Hi all.

I’ve pirated before, but on my own independent network. For reasons I won’t get into I’ve gone from living independently to living with roommates, and while I personally don’t have anything against piracy myself, my current concern is that because things are on a shared network, I don’t want them to get dinged by our ISP should I get caught in the act.

Beforehand, because it was my own network, my actions, my consequences to face in the rare circumstance that I do get caught (which hasn’t happened yet), everything was smooth sailing.However, even if the likelihood of this happening is low, I don’t want others facing consequences for my own actions.

What are some ways I can generally mitigate this issue? I mostly just pirate movies, and was curious if using streaming websites from FMHY or using SoulSeek would have the same risk as torrenting.

Edit: My region is Canada to help.

    Id start here, or whatever equivalent guide your provider has.

    Essentially when you setup the firewall rules in pfsense you can specify a gateway in the advanced section of the rule.

    As far as NAT, you just setup NAT for that subnet/vlan to go out over the VPN’s outward IP instead of your own.

    Both are required steps to get it working AFAIK.
