I wasn't trying to do that, just making a general statement

What I do is use the "Arch Linux Archive" repo and set it to a specific date, which has a snapshot of all the packages from that time. That way I don't have to update all the time but can still install packages whenever I want. When I feel like updating then I just increase the date in the mirror URL. In pacman.conf you would set it like so: Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2024/08/30/$repo/os/$arch

That is true, but also nobody is doing it. Just like nobody is verifying Signal's "reproducible builds".

I don't understand how if this requires a VPN which I can't use?

besides lying, which might be illegal in your area, and/or grounds for having the domain seized if anyone complains.

google wallet is not required to be tied to any bank accounts, and US does not even support NFC within banking apps.
