Seeding without port forwarding
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2022 10:26 am
Hello Forum,
it seems seeding without port forwarding is possible?
Currently I'm behind a VPN without port forwarding and uploading files that are completed a long time ago. And I'm doing a restart here and then.
How does it work? My client cant be reached from outside. So my client tells the tracker that I have torrent X. Another client (with open ports) wants torrent X and tells that to the tracker and the tracker tells it to my client. Then my client connects to the foreign client.
So the tracker has the info who has torrent X but also knows who wants torrent X. Correct?
Thanks
Peter
