mullvad and proton stand as vpn. However, mullvad does not allow torrenting because there is no port forwarding. Mullvad should not be on the list

      well, you can’t leech from people with closed ports so… it’s still worse. better to get something that can actually forward ports.

      I think it’s both? I’m assuming you get fewer seeds you can connect to as well.

      Either way, seeding issues are leeching issues, in the grand scheme of things.

      Edit: I only stress the seed side because I’ve found I get things plenty fast even with Mullvad, so not explaining the issue and just talking about down speed can make it seem unnecessary, when it is in fact critical to the health of the community.
