I’m trying to figure how to get around the ISP piracy detection. (I wanted to pirate Daria to get a specific voiceline for a SRB2Kart Daria mod.)
Last time I pirated Daria; my ISP found out. (In hindsight it seemed obvious; viacom is a copyright douchebag; I was utilizing torrents; and I didn’t use tor.) Fortunately, I use a different network (AT&T (ugh)) instead of comcast.
A VPN is what you need, I reccomend Mullvad. Their rates are fair and they gave good policies for data privacy
If you have Linux running you can run a dockerized container version of transmission that can only connect to the internet through a VPN. But it’s not strictly necessary, just running a VPN at the same time you torrent is good enough.
You could get a VPN or download it from a one click hoster and not with torrent. Downloading from mega or something like that won’t be blocked by your ISP.
There should be more possibilities, but these are from the top of my head.
Or rent a seedbox
Get a good VPN (not free) and change your DNS settings to Quad9’s DNS addresses.
Move to another country. In Spain nobody cares if you download torrents 24/7.
Everyone always be recommending vpn but I bet you’re still using your ISPs DNS server. Look into using other DNS servers that support dnscrypt or DNS over https. That will keep your ISP from snooping your traffic and the only way they’ll know what you’re connecting to is if they resolved the IP addresses you’re connecting to, but even then they wouldn’t know exactly what torrents you’re downloading.
Vpn will work but they cost money and can be privacy invading on their own. Never trust a company that charges for privacy.

Also be on the lookout for the daria restoration project. They rereleased the show with as much original music they could.Apparently they couldn’t get the rights to the original music for the DVD release.
Dnscrypt and DNS over HTTPS prevents your ISP from tampering with your DNS requests, but it does not prevent them from seeing which domain names you are connecting to, because of Server Name Identification. Widespread adoption of Encrypted Server Name Identification mainly comes down to server operators, many of whom won’t ever implement it (because it’s a pain in the ass to setup, and relatively little gain for the average webmaster)
Yes however that would require them to resolve every IP you’re connecting to even if you are not making requests to their DNS servers. I doubt any ISP is going to devote resources to logging all that traffic if there’s no incentive for them to do so.
Maybe some ISPs that are also owned by major media producers like time warner and the like might think to do something like that, but I suspect its to punish heavy users rather than uphold their parent companies intellectual property.
