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

      well, you can’t leech from people with closed ports so… it’s still worse. better to get something that can actually forward ports.

        So Proton is okay then, or do you have a better suggestion? I’m trying to look through the megathread for info.

      I think it’s both? I’m assuming you get fewer seeds you can connect to as well.

      Either way, seeding issues are leeching issues, in the grand scheme of things.
