What does real-debrid do? - eviltoast

I was looking through the megathread and saw this real-debrid thing. I have heard this name some times so I read what it does but wasn’t able to understand it. If someone could explain it to me I would appreciate it.

Also, it caught my attention that “it’s a good way to prevent your IP from ever hitting the torrent’s swarm, which is the main cause of receiving copyright infringement letters”. Does this mean it’s an alternative to a VPN when torrenting? Is it like a seedboxes or something? Are there any free alternatives?

    Hello! I started using the same setup recently. It’s fantastic but sometimes obscure stuff or programs not originally in English (don’t want to call them foreign, they’re not foreign when you’re from there) don’t have any streams available.

    I understand there’s a way to find magnet links yourself and add them in real-debrid. I tried that yesterday but it didn’t find any seeds (fair enough).

    Let’s say it would’ve found some, how does it then work to watch it in Stremio? You just restart the app and navigate back to the program?

    BTW if you haven’t, maybe try also adding the Trakt addon and managing your feed lists from there, really takes it another step up!
