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.

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)
