So I’m not condoning or condeming. I would say you can dual boot linux - that is have TWO entirely separate Linux installs on your PC. Have one be your main Linux desktop, and have a separate partition which you boot into to use for riskier stuff. Just ensure it has no access at all to your other drive and be careful mouting peripherals like USB drives. That way you can get full native experience with your PC, without having to sacrifice performance for a VM set up. I would also set up a VPN to run at all times within that 2nd Linux install, with kill switch for the network if it disconnects.

If mulvad didn’t take away the ability to just dump your VPN in your router via wiregaurd I would say do that over running the VPN on the system. Use an openwrt capable router and google a good saftey guide.

This is a thought, thank you for your suggestion. In defence of my pirating, it is more complicated that just getting stuff for free. See this comment. Sure, there was a time I’d pirate just because I could, now I have matured there are real reasons and ethical dilemmas. The above comment explains things pretty well though.
