Questions
Should I switch my Darkroom country?
Only if you can pay in Philippines. Cheapest dated Pro is Philippines at $4.84 versus $9.99 in the US. A VPN without a matching payment method does not complete checkout.
Is a cheap Darkroom login on a key site safer?
No. When the shared session gets pulled your presets go with it, and Apple-side subscriptions cannot be transferred between accounts anyway.
Does a VPN lower Darkroom Pro?
No. The App Store membership price follows your Apple ID storefront; changing that needs a local address and payment method, not an IP address.
