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

    Can someone explain this?

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

        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.

            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.
