μTP (Micro Transport Protocol) has “support for NAT traversal using UDP hole punching between two port-restricted peers where a third unrestricted peer acts as a STUN server.”

It still works for now, but it would be neat if only the uploading part needed to go through a VPN since that's the bit you can get in trouble for.

Would need a way of obfuscating the uploaders and downloaders though.

I don't see that where I live - some ISPs offer port forwarding, some don't. Some just give you IPv6 with ports unlocked manually in router config

Port forwarding is premium? On what exactly? I must be out of the loop...

we ran out of IPv4 addresses quite some time ago. the likelihood of being on a carrier grade NAT is pretty high.

and if you're lucky enough to have access a direct IPv4 address (also a premium feature and priced as such) your ISP can still be blocking certain ports.

and on top of all that what @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com said

that's no problem here because bittorrent can run on any port. qbittorrent randomizes it at install

Rent a seed box. That's the best solution for everyone.
