I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

    Torrenting/seeding works great with Mullvad, which doesn’t have port forwarding

      How though? People that want the torrent can’t connect to you if you’re not forwarding a port.

        You can connect to them though. Peers that have their ports open can allow seeders to connect to them

          Do seeds actively connect to peers even when the download is complete? I haven’t used BitTorrent in a very long time, but it didn’t used to do that.

        You can connect to people who have their ports open but not people who don’t, when your ports aren’t open
