fmhy.net is very noob friendly, it’s a collection of all sorts of sources for pirated content that are considered safe to use (sometimes with an asterisk - would be mentioned to use VPN or adblock, for instance). If you see a star next to a resource - the maintainers of the list consider it one of the best at the moment.

Which adblock, which VPN? privacyguides.org for all of that.

Which torrent client? qBittorent - in advanced settings find network interface and set it to your VPN (if you have to use VPN for torrenting), so that it never uses your regular internet.

Ahoy, and welcome to the high seas! There is a handy Wiki that may cover a lot of your questions, I suggest you give it a look and then follow-up with any additional questions you may have. (The link is also available in the sidebar of this community, if you ever need to find it quickly again without finding this post!)

While I do not condone creating an account on Reddit, the megathread of r/piracy is really great and accessible without an account. Check it out! Also: https://fmhy.net/

Depending on the country, you may need a VPN for torrenting. The easiest way to stream content is Stremio + Torrentio, and networks like Soulseek, Fopnu, eMule, and DC++ are still active—and better than torrents for content that is no longer seeded.
