I’m new to Soulseek, just downloaded a bunch of music I like. I want to not be a leach and give back to the community by sharing the things I downloaded, however Mullvad doesn’t allow port forwarding. Is it possible to share files on Soulseek without having open ports? Does everyone who shares stuff on Soulseek use no VPN/a VPN with port forwarding?

    I think the limitations of not setting up port forwarding are that the upload speed is garbage and only one person can download from you at a time, but it’s still doable from what I understand

      Yup, that’s how I do it tbh. I’m on mullvad and unwilling to switch at this point. Kinda sucks, but that’s how it is
