How is the Piracy community adapting to port forwarding becoming a rarer premium feature, and most users on public trackers do not have it? Is the bitorrent protocol in need of update?

    yes, seeding works too, with no port forwarding. With mullvad, it just works and with proton I have to enable “moderate NAT” sometimes, but seeding works without port forwarding, it always has

      Only because you’re seeding to people that have port forwarding active. You can’t seed to people that are running the same setup as yourself.

        Port forwarding is a huge vulnerability. With proton it’s not as much of a vulnerability, but it still opens a lot of shit that should stay closed

        whatever the case is, I’m able to seed without port forwarding

          You’re opening a port in your VPN connection so no there’s no “huge vulnerability” (even without a VPN you’re only opening a port to your torrent client) and as mentioned, you’re only seeding to people who have port forwarding set up. If more people run without it like yourself, the whole system breaks down.

          What do you think it makes you vulnerable to?
