Yes, you need some way to hide your IP when torrenting in the US unless your ISP doesn't care about copyright letters. If you don't want to use a VPN, a debrid service or I2P are other options as well that can hide torrents from your isp. Another option is to not torrent and stick to ddl and streaming
debrid service is the way, because they have so many other uses besides torrenting.
What else are they useful for?
