I find this interesting because I use Mozilla VPN, which is just rebranded Mullvad, and qBittorrent works just fine on it.
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.
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.
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.
