You can torrent without portforwarding. The only issue is on rare Linux isos. You potentially will have trouble discovering new peers. At least one person will need portforwarding.
It’s more that effective seeding is very hard without a forwarded port. If you only leech, you’ll be fine. But that’s not how the system is envisioned.
I linked a Docker Container elsewhere in this topic that works with Proton’s implementation of port forwarding. Proton’s price is the same as Mullvad too. That would be my recommendation.
Had to leave MV because of this. I went to Proton, though I did need special software to support its form of port forwarding without introducing a regular hassle. All good now, mostly.
I was looking at Proton too but I’m already a customer and the VPN is going to be shared with family members. I worries if they can access my mail if I share my account.
I’ve been using fast vpn for android app for studying on my phone and tablet. It’s convenient for accessing educational content and research papers while commuting or studying at cafes.The main issue is it drains battery faster than I’d like, especially during long study sessions. Sometimes the app crashes randomly, and reconnecting can be frustrating when you’re trying to focus. The interface feels a bit cluttered too. It works well enough for basic student needs, but there’s definitely room for improvement in stability and optimization.
Mullvad no longer supports port forwarding, making it completely useless for torrenting which is my main use case.
I find this interesting because I use Mozilla VPN, which is just rebranded Mullvad, and qBittorrent works just fine on it.

What about with something like Soulseek? I’m just getting into using it and still have no idea how to optimize using it, and doing so safely.
Can’t really help you there, I haven’t used Soulseek before.

Wasn’t FastVPN caught holding user logs and selling personal data to advertisement agencies?

Really? I was planning to switch to Mullvad.

Yep I use the binhex container too, makes everything really easy to set up.

You can get around this by generating the files for OpenVPN or Wireguard for them and sending those.

The Change just happened a couple months back.
