Aside from torrent the other p2p where an open port can be important is Soulseek, you could be blacklisted by users from downloading pretty quickly if you don't/can't share music.
I switched to mullvad a few months back and what I noticed coming from AirVPN is how much less captcha requests I get, I'm not much into p2p so I'll probably stay with them.
Wait...soulseek is still a thing???
Oh yeah, very much so.
Yup! And not even just torrents/Soulseek, other p2p apps like eMule also require incoming ports for the best performance.
.. okay, okay cue the "people still use eMule?" comments :D
