Maybe one day ProtonVPN will fix their port-forwarding for their configuration files, I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this and their support is oblivious that this function even exists.

For people wondering the Learn More link just tells you what port forwarding does.

Friendly reminder that seedboxes are definitely worth it. Go for a seedbox if you can afford it

Is it possible to obtain stats what seed ratio you need to get to on average for a torrent not to die?
