So im what you may call a noob to piracy, and im still learning the ropes, so im starting with direct downloads. Porn in my area usually needs very personal info to even watch in my area, which i do not feel ok giving to a 18+ site.

So how can I download porn, hentai, Japanese porn, and such media safely or atleast watch it without needing some very personal info like a id or image of myself? Ive looked over the megathread, but im not sure where to start or what sites work for my needs.

If you’re wondering, I’m 20, and yes i have a problem.

    A reputable VPN like Mullvad or Proton combined with youtube-dl can pull from some sites but it is pretty hit or miss.

        yt-dlp no longer works on youtube for me personally. i’ve read about workarounds but they are too advanced for me to understand.

        however, it works fine on every porn site i have tried so far.

          If it doesn’t work, yt-dlp -U. If it still doesn’t work, I don’t know what to do anymore

          For me the package manager version was outdated - I grabbed the latest version from the GitHub and it just works again.
