Is Elden Ring from FirGirl safe and should I use a VPN?

Question

Basically the title, I want to download Elden Ring from Fitgirl and was wondering if it's safe. This is my first time pirating so I was wondering if I should click 1337x, magnet link or torrent link. Also, how useful is a VPN, I live in the UK but I don't particularly wanna spend £10 for a month of Proton if I don't have to.

If it's from the og page of fitgirl it should be fine. Use a VPN if you live in a first world country where people are prosecuted for piracy

Yes, FitGirl is safe. Yes, you should use a VPN. The torrent link will download a .torrent file that you then put into your torrent client to start the torrent. The magnet link will automatically open your torrent client and start the torrent

Mullvad is only $5 a month, but does not have port forwarding. Proton is also $5 a month if you get the 2 year plan, but I know that's a higher upfront cost

Another option is to use Real-Debrid to torrent for you and give you a safe direct download link. It only costs about $3 a month

You need a VPN or debrid service for torrenting. I use and recommend real-debrid.com. Debrid services do the torrenting for you, then you download the files directly from their server. It avoids many of the problems with VPNs/torrenting. For example, you don't have to worry about the VPN shutting off unexpectedly and leaking your activity to your ISP because it's a secure direct download. It's also cheaper than Proton.

After you sign up for real-debrid, you copy the magnet link from 1337x.to into the torrent list. Real-Debrid probably has the files downloaded already because that's a popular torrent. So then you just hit download.

Happy sailing!

From the official FitGirl website it should be ! You don't need any VPN if you're not downloading a lot of torrents but if you want to be extra safe you can use one !

Use atopgames, it’s much better, faster download too since it’s reinstalled, just download and extract
