What's the catch with Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid (lemmy.ml)

After my last post on here asking about convenient streaming options at higher resolutions, I got a few comments recommending Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid.

I ended up going through with that and streamed a 4k movie. That said, what's the catch? I'm a little paranoid because I'm not sure if this still counts as torrenting, and if I should be using a VPN while watching something from RD.

No such thing as free lunch, so I'm assuming there's other downsides to this solution, could someone let me know what they are?

This is what I understand as well. I have been using it (well, specifically streamio + Rd with torrentio addon) for half a year so far and it's fantastic. Definitely seems too good to be true, but there's no catch imo :)

There's only 3 cons which for me aren't big deal breakers unless it's important to you

No auto renewal
Not free, it's like $6 for 6 months or something which imo is insanely affordable and an incredibly good deal
If you watch on multiple devices but at the same time, you get banned

EDIT: As I was corrected below, bullet 3 only applies when ~~under the same IP~~ using different external IP addresses

So it's two months later, this still working for you? I'm looking at this for myself just setting up unraid now...
