Reading https://overengineer.dev/blog/2019/04/08/very-precarious-narrative.html explains vulnerabilities to VPNs. I was aware of several of them, but some I wasn’t.
Are VPNs still useful for torrenting?

Outgoing ports aren’t the issue. At least one client involved in the transfer must have a port available that does not filter out incoming traffic. That means you can still download and upload even without a forwarded point, but you can only upload and download from people with forwarded ports. If you have port forwarding, you can download and upload with everybody.
You lost me in that middle part. Are there any further resources I can read to understand this better?
Probably this discussion explains it better than I did.
Oh I see!
