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.

Adding another free alternative; The free Cloudflare Warp for a semi-VPN. You can't choose your output node, but your traffic gets routed through their network.

It can run in proxy mode as well if you prefer only your torrent traffic being routed through it.
