    Only because you’re seeding to people that have port forwarding active. You can’t seed to people that are running the same setup as yourself.

      Port forwarding is a huge vulnerability. With proton it’s not as much of a vulnerability, but it still opens a lot of shit that should stay closed

      whatever the case is, I’m able to seed without port forwarding

        You’re opening a port in your VPN connection so no there’s no “huge vulnerability” (even without a VPN you’re only opening a port to your torrent client) and as mentioned, you’re only seeding to people who have port forwarding set up. If more people run without it like yourself, the whole system breaks down.
