    How does it harm p2p? I’ve been downloading and seeding without issue. Genuine question

      P2P requires at least 1 person to have open port forwarding. Ideally, everyone has it open on their VPN. The more people start recommending vpns without it, the more torrents as a whole start to die as everyone I inherently becomes a burden on the system.

        I had no idea. According to what I’m reading, if I switch to IPv6, it would effectively solve the problem? I see that mullvad does support it, but will have to look into the individual containers I’m using, as well as docker itself I guess.
