# Adblocking

How important is using an adblocker?

Piracy sites usually contain ads, some of which can be harmful, often leading to unwanted pages or fake download buttons. Real download buttons are usually small, often text-based or subtly integrated into the site's design. Fake ones are frequently large, brightly coloured, use generic terms like 'Download Now', and may appear multiple times on a page. It can be hard to tell them apart, so it's important to always have an adblocker.

For browsers we recommend uBO, and you can also use a Redirect Skipper to skip annoying countdowns.

For mobile AdGuard Premium / iOS / Guide or Rethink DNS, and you can block YouTube, Reddit, and X.com ads with ReVanced Manager / Easy Setup.

# Browsers

Which web browser should I use?

We recommend Firefox, but you can also try Privacy-Focused Browsers or Brave if you prefer Chromium.

For Android we recommend Firefox, Brave or Cromite.

For iOS Orion, Brave or Safari + Adguard.

# Antivirus

How can I safely scan files, and determine if detections are false positives?

Before installing any file, it's recommended to scan the setup / install with VirusTotal. If you're having trouble determining if something is a false positive, refer to the Scan Guide, or send it to us in Feedback and we'll take a look for you.

# Privacy

I don't have anything to hide, why should I care about privacy?

Privacy is about controlling your personal information, not just keeping things secret. Non-sensitive data is used by companies to track your behavior, target ads, and influence your choices.

For email privacy, we recommend Proton and for search SearX. It's also good to check sites like HaveIBeenPwned to make sure your info hasn't been part of any recent data breaches.

# Windows Piracy

How can I download / activate Windows for free?

Download an ISO from Massgrave's Genuine Installation Media page, and follow the Clean Install Windows Guide to install it. After install, activate it with Microsoft Activation Scripts. If you'd like to use Windows 10 past its End-Of-Life date, follow Windows 10 After EOL.

# Torrenting

Do I need a VPN to torrent?

Downloading files through torrenting can cause issues with your ISP, so using a VPN is a must in most countries. You should also bind your VPN to your torrent client. This ensures that if your VPN connection drops, your torrent client stops all traffic, preventing your real IP address from being exposed. You can also use Remote Torrenting Services to avoid the need for a VPN altogether.

What is Port Forwarding? Do I need it?

Port forwarding (having an open port) is an essential part of torrenting and it's recommended to set it up. While it's not strictly needed, it benefits the swarm, can sometimes boost download speeds, and improves connectability for torrents with fewer seeds.
