Truth be told, doing it legally will only make it harder and harder to get media. Mullvad VPN (https://mullvad.net ) is only 5€ (~5.4$) monthly and you can quite literally mail them the physical dollars to pay for the VPN if you don't have card.

Is Mullvad still a valid option with no port forwarding? I guess if you're only on public trackers and don't care about seeding it's probably fine.
