There are already several posts on this topic, but I wanted to have a more up to date answer. The secure wifi uses my personal school account to sign in so that might not be the best idea, however the guest wifi is open to everyone so that may be a better idea. I also know to use a VPN and bind my torrenting client to the VPN. Anything else I should know? Or is the entire idea dead in the water? I've pirated before but never with several thousand dollars on the line...

my only advice, don't do it without a VPN, proton, ivpn or mullvad

with ivpn and proton, be sure to have some other stuff open on the same device to make some extra noise to help prevent fingerprinting the traffic

with mullvad, enable DAITA, matter of fact, use DAITA whenever you're using mullvad, it makes things a bit slower, but it's worth it to not have to worry about any AI finding a pattern in your traffic
