    Whatever you think you need port forwarding for can probably be better accomplished using something like tailscale or wireguard. The reason most vpns dont support forwarding and some used to but dropped it is because its just not worth the hassle andc creates an additional way for your IP to be leaked.

      Wireguard is a VPN protocol. I need port forwarding for efficient torrenting. Proton offers both OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols. Tailscale is not so good for torrents, I think.

        Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won’t make your downloads any faster.

          That’s not what I’ve read on the subject.

            You can just try it for yourself, use a VPN but dont do port forwarding and grab your favorite Linux iso, see if you notice a difference.

          If you don’t have port forwarding, you can only connect to peers that do.

          If you have port forwarding, there’s more potential peers to connect to. So yes it can make downloads faster.

            That just isn’t true anymore, you can test for yourself.
