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.

Mullvad did remove port forwarding, and it's the only thing stopping me from cancelling my Proton subscription early. I don't torrent often, but I wonder about getting a seedbox one day, and I'd need Proton.

I honestly don't love them after the idiot board member's Trump praise.
