Wireguard is a VPN protocol. I need port forwarding for efficient torrenting. Proton offers both OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols. Tailscale is not so good for torrents, I think.

Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won’t make your downloads any faster.

That’s not what I’ve read on the subject.

You can just try it for yourself, use a VPN but dont do port forwarding and grab your favorite Linux iso, see if you notice a difference.

Their forwarding might make your downloads faster.

If you don’t have port forwarding, you can only connect to peers that do.

If you have port forwarding, there’s more potential peers to connect to. So yes it can make downloads faster.

That just isn’t true anymore, you can test for yourself.
