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.

    This, and something to note is never lie to Google Rewards as you’ll then stop getting surveys altogether if they catch you out with their trap questions

    Have you ever visited XYZ waterpark

    If you haven’t, even if it’s a real place just say no and wait for the next survey because they’ll trip you up trying.

        You got me curious, because while I don’t have the app installed for the longest time I do have a female fam member who used to demolish me in rewards and still uses it.

        But, only blocks adverts at (yay Adguard)home while on WiFi and pretty sure she doesn’t have PrivateDNS enabled.

        Seems she’s only getting surveys whilst out and about shopping so I’ve asked her to enable her exit node at home next time shopping.

        For science…

          Interesting. I never gotten surveys where I can upload receipts. Could it be a region thing? I’m not in the Western World Countries (in South East Asia), and from what I remember, only gotten “Have you been to” surveys.

        I adblock all my phones and back when I tried to use it I have it installed and never got any surveys for months. So that probably does it.
