    I’ve not encountered any issues filling up my NAS with torrented Linux ISOs via NordVPN?

    My priority for a VPN has just been no logging and the ability to ‘travel’ internationally… so if there the case, no need to rush out and switch then?

      A connection has to be established. That is only possible if one side has an open port.

      So you can basically not connect to other people with closed ports, which reduces your available pool of people to connect to.

      As long as there are enough people with open ports for you, you and the torrent ecosystem will be fine. But when nobody or very few people have open ports, torrenting simply doesn’t work.
