I created a simple script to automatically request a port to ProtonVPN servers and assign it to qbittorrent:
Giu176
I created a script exactly for that, I'm using it for months now and it's working fine: https://github.com/giu176/ProtonVPN-auto-NATPMP
If you are using Linux I wrote a script just for that!

I'm using it on my headless server and it worked fine for the last two months. Tell me if you need help in the setup (the Readme should be exhaustive).
Thank you for the time and effort in the reply. The information you gave are very useful.
Thank you for the clarification! I'll move to a different solution for my setup then.
Thanks for all the useful informations. In my current setup I use a Proton vpn tunnel on a mikrotik router to route all the traffic from my torrenting machines through it, the only problem is that the router doesn't support NAT-PMP which is used by Proton to open ports on their side of the tunnel. Is this a problem? If I understand correctly PF does not influence my ability to download but only my uploads (without PF my files can't be accessed via TCP I guess). I don't think I need PF because I already had to limit my uploads because of my shitty internet connection, in good days I have 2Mbps upload, this limited bandwidth was always saturated by qbittorrent. I know that it's not fair p2p but otherwise I couldn't even use my internet.
I'm asking for confirmation here, when I'll move to a place with fiber I'll change my setup for sure! Or maybe I'll go through some load balancing shenanigans on my network and re-enable uploads in some way..
Thank you for the advices! I will definitely go back to ariendel first! If you want to play some coop send me a direct message on lemmy and I will add you on steam/discord.
Very nice! I never played any from game until elden ring, I always play videogames with two friends that are obsessed with from software games, they were always talking about the elden ring imminent release and they stopped playing with me because thay made new runs in DS3 while waiting for elden ring! After countless nights hearing them having fun on discord, I finally decided to buy the game to play with them: that day, the specific day I bought it, the servers went down because of a security issue. They stopped playing because they wanted to play together.. I was so sad. Then elden ring came out. They gifted me the game on steam so we could play together! It was awesome, we played together like 80% of the game and, even if the multiplayer isn't perfect, we had so much fun. After that I had to play dark souls! Really enjoyed the remastered. Now Ds3! Bought it two years ago and I recently finished the main game! Ringed city it's your turn now!
Thanks for sharing! I still need the script because I already have a tunnel on a Mikrotik OS vm router to route all my containers through the vpn.
