Hi there,

I've been a frequent enjoyer of movies and shows through the not so legal route. Now I'm going to move to a dorm pretty soon and will use University internet.

I don't torrent or direct download, just stream and never had an issue at home (though I do live in a country that gives a fuck about piracy), but I've read some horror stories of people being blocked off their uni Wi-Fi due to piracy. I've also seen that they can theoretically see what sites I'm on.

My question is, would the occasionally streamed anime realistically trigger any alarms at my school's IT department? Do you think it's wort it to finally invest in a VPN just to be safe, or would that even do anything in that case?

I'm not really knowledgeable in these things, just a megathread surfer, so any opinion is appreciated.
