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.
You can get a vps for $5/month or less. Installing vpn software with one of the automagical scripts takes 30 minutes at worst.
Umm, but then your VPN leads to a server rented from a web host which you are paying with (presumably) a credit card, and if they’re reputable at all then you had to register with a government ID. The ones that don’t check ID are the ones that host ransomware gangs and CSAM distributors.
A VPN provides no privacy at all if it’s linked to an IP address or domain name and hardware that is registered to you.
I guess you’re right partially, but if you’re renting a VPS in a country that doesn’t respect those copyright laws, your VPS provider can’t be asked to bother you.
