    So does not having port forwarding mean it’s not safe to use it for torrenting? As long as my ISP doesn’t know I’m illegally torrenting stuff, I’m not really concerned personally

      It is as safe, it just adds extra (needed) functionality. See this post that was shared by Brickfrog right above https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/441108
