Highly recommend a year long subscription to proton VPN and the app streamio. I use real debris and torrentio with it. The experience is better than you could ever buy with streaming services.
The big issue with Streamio is that it relies on torrents but doesn’t actually seed anything. It simply uses the torrent to cache the content, and then deletes it after you watch. Encouraging everyone to use streamio is a slow march towards killing it, because if everyone uses it nobody can.
Maybe something like Plex or Jellyfin instead. It will require a little more up-front setup, but it allows you to have a server (or just your home PC) that works as a media host. And since you’re hosting the content, you can actually seed your torrents.
Jellyfin if you like FOSS, or Plex if you need to be able to walk your mother-in-law through the setup for her TV. Jellyfin is great as far as FOSS goes, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Plex’s ease of setup.
