Hi all, I'm about to visit Mexico for 3 weeks. Currently in my country, I can download torrents and other stuff without VPN. Is it the same over there as well? I'd be using Wi-Fi over there.

Mexican here, pirate whatever you want. No one cares. Even the government uses pirate software.

Mexican here, I second this. I don't even bother with VPNs. My ISP's never done anything about it. Nobody in Mexico cares about that shit.

Do tread carefully, just in case idk

I think I would go with a paid VPN subscription for a month for a sense of security.

Sure thing, I'm obviously no expert in the matter. Please disregard any technical or technological advise I might appear to give.

Also! Enjoy Mexico!

Be careful with the food, as a foreigner trying spicy mexican food might give you "Moctezuma's revenge" (the runs) keep a peptobismol bottle at arms lenght. Also, if you're american stay away from tap water, we don't drink that, we drink water from "garrafón" (big water bottle).

Micheladas are pretty good if you're into beer and interesting flavours. Also try rusas with sprite (or any lime-flavoured soda). If you're going to Guadalajara please try "carnes en su jugo" and "tortas ahogadas", if you're going near the coast, "ceviche" is incredibly delicious. Lime ("limón") is the key to most mexican food and it's sour but incredibly good and you'll find it everywhere. The limes from "taquerías" however, are dry af. My safe food is "enchiladas Suizas", and you might find them in any and most restaurants (they're not actually from Switzerland)

Have fun!
