I haven't used PopCornTime for a long time, as I have Netflix+HBO subscriptions, but it's time to reinstall it as a way to disobay the takedown.

You don't want Popcorn Time - you want Stremio

  Care to elaborate?

    supports commercial providers (Netflix, iTunes, Hulu) to find content, magnet links for webtorrent viewing, plugin architecture, no affiliate links or adware, and their github is currently live

  It's WebTorrent for me when I need to watch something immediately.

  Stremio is centralized and has terrible license. No, thanks. While some of the things they are working on seem cool, overall I would not touch it because of the previously mentioned problems. Popcorn time really is a community project and it doesn't try to earn money by working on a tool that provides pirated content.

I tried getting Disney+ a week or two ago to watch a few things I still had on my list, but no support for my device and the website is completely broken in multiple browsers (I don't use dns blockers and one of the browsers is a purposefully clean Chromium). Not to mention HBO content, "get HBO" on the website just links to itself and I don't see any sign up page in Germany. I'm really sorry for the people that worked on the content, I tried to pay for it... Paying for ProtonVPN worked fine by the way.

  is protonvpn better than expressvpn?

    Haven't tried that one, but from a comparison I did a few months ago protonvpn seemed like the best option to me. I don't remember what the criteria were, probably jurisdiction, reputation, p2p allowed, Linux support, maybe more.

  I tried to subscribe for it as well, but couldn't. At the same time I was seeing the baby yoda memes everywhere, so of course I wanted to see what it is, and downloaded Mandalorian :) In this day and age, when memes and spoilers travel in hours, restricting content by country is just bad business. I have ExpressVPN, but I saw that I need a US bank account to be able to pay for Disney+, so I gave it up. I see that now some more countries are on the list, and I have bank accounts in multiple countries, so I may try it again :)
