First, child services has been called on multiple occasions and has done nothing. The police don’t care either. They’re disabled so they can’t just leave.

They have a laptop that they can use whenever they want but their patent is extremely opposed to piracy and won’t pay for my friend to buy movies or a streaming service. They watch DVDs from the library on their laptop.

They’re also not tech savvy so I need a plug and play solution that will allow them to pirate media without anyone else in the household being aware of it.

    Alternatively to Plex, Stremio + a debrid account, you can set it up for them remotely and it is pretty easy to use, and you immediately get more content than all the streaming services combined lol.

      But debrid services are not free. OPs friend doesn’t seem to have any income since they can’t afford to pay for their own streaming account.

      Stremio is P2P though so without a vpn the parents are probably gonna hear about their ISP pretty soon. Or would debrid enable OP to host some stuff for their friend to access through stremio or something ?

        Stremio with a debrid service is not P2P. Since with a debrid account you’d stream the movie from the debrid servers and not from a P2P network. I doubt the ISP has flagged the IPs of debrid services. And since the files are transferred under https the ISP can’t see what you are streaming.

        The debrid service caches the torrents in their servers and usually have better speeds than what the seeders provide, so you get the best experience while streaming and they deal with the DMCA strikes and such.

        Tailscale vpn is free for up to 5 clients and would allow you to vpn to a friend to share content
