Hello all,

I am running fedora with mullvad (wireguard) straight from the network settings with a configuration file.

According to https://mullvad.net/en/check everything is fine but I want to know if I am set for torrenting now that they have removed port forwarding and I cannot bind qbittorrent to the vpn.

Should I adjust anything or am I set? What was the benefit of port forwarding?

I mean, why not use a seedbox?

You don't need to fiddle with VPN, have a machine up all day that don't cost you electricity, usually more bandwidth, and potentially downsize your home internet plan.

Drawbacks include more limited storage, paid extra, and the need to download to local.

Just to note that seedbox only works if you just view the material for a few times, not hoarding. IMHO as long as you maintain a share ratio of 2 or above you're good to delete the file after you done with it, unless you're on PT.
