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.
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)
