    why do you need port forwarding if you have VPN?

    Its been a long, long time since i’ve used torrents in any form, so I have no idea.

        I do want to note that you can still seed if your port isn’t forwarded. For every seed connection, only one person out of the pair needs a forwarded port.

          Good point. It just means that only people who themselves are likely to be seeders can download from me. Which is better than nothing, but not ideal!
