mullvad and proton stand as vpn. However, mullvad does not allow torrenting because there is no port forwarding. Mullvad should not be on the list

torrenting using mullvad vpn rn, what are you even on about?

[โ€“] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 22 points 2 days ago (11 children)

Seeding is crippled due to no port forwarding. You can download, you just can't really share back.

Can someone explain this?

qBittorrent still shows my torrents as being seeded when not using port forwarding.

[โ€“] SincerityIsCool@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

See my response to feebleneedle. No port forwarding limits connections

[โ€“] propitiouspanda@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Without port forwarding you can only connect to those who do have it set up.

Neither me nor my friend set up port forwarding and it still worked.

It worked because the other people you connected to opened up a port themselves.

Edit: In some cases the tracker can open up a port for the peers. See https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/18977148

I was the only one seeding the torrent.

It seems like this would have something to do with the tracker that's included when making a torrent with qbittorrent, but I don't know much about that other than accepting the default and seeing it work.
