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.

Still sad about this. Mullvad feels like the best privacy-centric choice and I've been using them for a year, but once I set up my media server I realized how vital port forwarding is. Ended up switching to Proton, who I'm still uncomfortable with due to their CEO's political comments earlier this year, but they're arguably the best choice right now.

Airvpn is supposed to be as private as mullvad but def not as user friendly in my experience.

It can't be as private as mullvad, it has usernames and they log traffic amounts.

I use them though.
