How is the Piracy community adapting to port forwarding becoming a rarer premium feature, and most users on public trackers do not have it? Is the bitorrent protocol in need of update? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Port forwarding is premium? On what exactly? I must be out of the loop...

we ran out of IPv4 addresses quite some time ago. the likelihood of being on a carrier grade NAT is pretty high.

and if you're lucky enough to have access a direct IPv4 address (also a premium feature and priced as such) your ISP can still be blocking certain ports.

and on top of all that what @[email protected] said

I've never had a problem with it in Spain. What is different where you live? CGNAT?

I think it's that VPN providers offering port forwarding are becoming fewer and fewer.

Contact your ISP, and request for CGNAT removal. Unless you live in Germany.

The first thing I do with my isp provided modem is set it to bridge mode.

Assuming you mean IPv4 CGNAT: IPv6.

Does STUN no longer work to allow port-forwarding when needed by P2P applications?

I don't see that where I live - some ISPs offer port forwarding, some don't. Some just give you IPv6 with ports unlocked manually in router config
