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.
Don’t go tormenting without a VPN.
…depending on your country. Some countries don’t give a flying fuck: in that case, don’t waste money on VPNs if you don’t need it.
But im broke which is why i want to pirate, Do i just use a bunch of free trials?
Definitely don’t use your real identity before tormenting others.
Haha
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
Can you even do this in their new desktop app, as far as I know, profiles are for paid users only
If I remember correctly you can download a profile from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads#wireguard-configuration
You can choose if you want to use a free or premium server (obviously the premium server is only gonna work if you also have a premium subscription)
Bro, you can get a vpn for stupid cheap these days. Some reputable companies frequently offer deals for less than $5 per month.
Mullvad is always $5 a month. They’re fantastic.
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
Torrenting isn’t the only way to pirate stuff and you can absolutely pirate on Proton’s free version.
