I’m a tad bit confused regarding VPNs, I wanted to purchase one and then got scolded because it does not have port forwarding. VPNs and torrenting is entirely new for me (mainly used DDLs).

So trying to get a grasp on everything related to torrenting before getting one.

Which VPN do the majority here recommend (and why), I’m currently looking on Proton/ AirVPN. Why’s port forwarding so important that someone freaks out about it towards me.
