    Is Mullvad still a valid option with no port forwarding? I guess if you’re only on public trackers and don’t care about seeding it’s probably fine.

      You “can” run torrent without port forward, you get a lot less friction running with one, even on public.

      privateinternetaccess has a handfull of nodes that allow port forward, they also have one in switzerland that allows socks proxy.

        To add, running without portforward lowers the amount of discoverable peers quite a bit, which usually results in a much lower download speed.
