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.

  • Pay for a month for TorrentLeechs seedbox promo to get an invite.
  • wait for opensignups. HUNO, FearNoPeer, onlyencodes are solid options.
  • do an "interview" at MAM. After downloading and seeding all you've downloaded for a few months, you'll be able to get into the trackers mentioned above and a few others (e.g. Aither).
