I found out about this port forwarding matter a few days ago and gave it a try with PIA, and was disappointed with the results, but I'd like to know if I did something wrong on my end.

I'm currently torrenting about 100 torrents in a VPS running Qbittorrent with a Wireguard config from Mullvad, and I've been able to get great speeds, about 500 Mbps at the highest.

The other day I set up PIA with gluetun, through OpenVPN, with port forwarding too, put all the 100 torrents in Deluge too. The upload speeds for seeding didn't seem any faster, but the download speeds were not quite as good. It would top at around 200 Mbps, best case.

Out of curiosity I also tried wireguard configs from Windscribe, with no port forwarding though, and it would also top out at about 250 Mbps or so.

I'm currently back with Mullvad and Qbittorrent. It's been working fine for months now, so I'm wondering if I'm really missing out without port forwarding.

Anyway, and tips or suggestions are welcome!
