I know this is a dumb question... But i cant really aford a vpn like at all, is it possible to torrent without using a vpn in the USA or will i get in some trouble and go to jail if i torrent without a vpn?

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

Definitely don’t use your real identity before tormenting others.

Bro, you can get a vpn for stupid cheap these days. Some reputable companies frequently offer deals for less than $5 per month.

That sucks but if you do it you'll just be broke without internet access.

You can use a free VPN, they're just going to log and sell all your internet traffic data.

AFAIK Proton has a free tier.

I think their free tier prevents you from torrenting

Just checked and you are right.

I think you can bypass this by using the WireGuard profile instead of their official app, haven't tried this for quite some time though

Just use a free VPN like proton.
