I have a friend in an abusive situation who uses movies as an escape. How can I set them up to watch pirated movies without anyone in their house knowing? (lemm.ee)

First, child services has been called on multiple occasions and has done nothing. The police don't care either. They're disabled so they can't just leave.

They have a laptop that they can use whenever they want but their patent is extremely opposed to piracy and won't pay for my friend to buy movies or a streaming service. They watch DVDs from the library on their laptop.

They're also not tech savvy so I need a plug and play solution that will allow them to pirate media without anyone else in the household being aware of it.

Plex is easy. You can self-host, and your friend can watch on a web browser.

Alternatively to Plex, Stremio + a debrid account, you can set it up for them remotely and it is pretty easy to use, and you immediately get more content than all the streaming services combined lol.

Stremio is P2P though so without a vpn the parents are probably gonna hear about their ISP pretty soon. Or would debrid enable OP to host some stuff for their friend to access through stremio or something ?

Tailscale vpn is free for up to 5 clients and would allow you to vpn to a friend to share content
