So until now I always had closed ports because my ISP put me behind a CGNAT and can’t open ports (No I don’t need a vpn because no one cares in my country) Over time I just accepted that I cannot open ports but recently saw that if I tell them they will take me out of the CGNAT and be connectable, now I’m waiting for that.

Do you know what speed can you have before and after you open ports and more importantly what percent of peers have their ports open?

    I don’t now about numbers, but quality-wise… It’s another world.

      Most certainly

      MyAnonamouse is the first place where I really saw attention drawn to encourage port forwarding and after seeing the difference will always have ports forwarded

        Same for the mouse. My ratio is ridiculous as I just leave everything seeding. I also use a VPN that allows port forwarding even though its not a big deal in my country I still do it anyway.
