I wanted to do some soulseek, but just as I began moving towards that this happened. What VPN should I use for this ? I don’t want to use any of those over advertised shady VPNs like nordvpn (who was a spamming machine on my PC back when I used it) or surfshark or others if not necessary…

I’m a bit confused. Using mullvad and I’m still seeding fine.

Could anyone explain why I need portforwarding?

Using mullvad wireguard and qbittorrent

Seeding with ~1Mbit right now, which is normal for my connection

Edit: thought soulseek is some torrent slang or client, I’m an idiot ^^

OP wants to use Soulseek which is P2P and requires port forwarding.

The post doesn’t mention seeding or torrenting whatsoever mate

you don’t really have a high bandwidth so I am not surprised that it makes no difference. For me port forwarding is the difference between seeding at 16MB/s vs 3/4MB/s

Does it only take affect seeding? I’m behind NAT with no port forwarding and often download at 80-110 MB/s (megabytes, not megabits).

it should affect downloading as well. It increases the number of peers able to connect to you for data exchange in both directions
