Why VPN? How does Stemio work and what's the content coverage compared to e.g. PirateBay or CloudTorrent?
It uses piratebay and any other torrent site you want
VPN services like Torbox are faster because they download them to their servers and stream them direct to you. Without a VPN 1080p stuff streams fine for me but 4k is a struggle.

Note, real-debrid.com are banning illegal content, people were switching to Torbox last I checked.
