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.

Just use a free VPN like proton.

You can torrent on Proton’s free version now?

Nope. I was wrong about that. I just looked into it more and you can't. I have always had the paid version, I didn't realize that was one of the features missing from the free tier. My bad

All good, I don't think anyone offers it. AFAIK I2P is the only option for free torrent anonymity.

I've always paid for Proton a year at a time. Given as much as I pirate its well worth it
