What is VPN and is it legal?

Many talk about VPN and that they use this to hide their ID address from Germany to access other series that are not licensed here.

In how far is this legal? And does the situation change when you use a VPN for a site that you already pay for (Netflix, Crunchyroll, …)?

Anyone who is able to operate a search engine does not have to ask questions here.

Using a VPN is completely legal in Germany. Would not be otherwise possible. But that does not mean that crimes that are committed with VPN in the network are suddenly legal. For services such as Netflix you still have to pay, it changes nothing.

VPN itself is legal. Only the things that are done with it often are illegal ;-) If nobody knows what makes one and where he comes from, then he can afford more than anywhere else ;-)

There's 1 month for free… And again and again when the IP and the network environment changes… Well, you realize what:-)

Se

I did not knew that. But this free month should surely be connected to an account, the IP has nothing to do with it. You can of course create a lot of accounts, but you also need a lot of email addresses. So… You can still do nothing with VPN, which you could not without synonymous.

The account needs an email address --- and mean it's so hard to get 12 of it?

Se

No. Only one day the addresses will go out too. And disposable addresses are blocked by most providers when registering.

I always ask myself… I think they only suspected the types… But he admitted it himself. If he had been silent they would have been hard enough to prove it to him. Problem only: a lawyer has probably told him that they will find out anyway and if he but before zugibg the penalty is lower. So he followed the lawyer.

Well, I can already serve a 'search engine' and I'm already terminated, but my question will have a reason: I did not understand that and I was hoping that it would be easier to explain this to me.

Good questioning would not exist if everyone could also look elsewhere. Well.

Well, in that case it might be appropriate to show users what work you have already done. Nobody is willing to give you information that you could have largely searched for from the net. If you have specific understanding problems, ask for these specific understanding problems.

Something like "I've inquired once and know so roughly what a VPN is, but I still have some questions open, namely: … I've already found out / I've already tried these search terms without success: …" If you you do not work, you should not expect others to do it for you. If you've gotten work done, you should also show what work you did.
