    You “can” run torrent without port forward, you get a lot less friction running with one, even on public.

    privateinternetaccess has a handfull of nodes that allow port forward, they also have one in switzerland that allows socks proxy.

      To add, running without portforward lowers the amount of discoverable peers quite a bit, which usually results in a much lower download speed.
