Seeding/downloading torrents with private trackers requires portforwarding to be effective, also accessing a home network from the internet (I’m still researching that usecase, if someone has any useful tutorials I’ll take it.)
So does not having port forwarding mean it’s not safe to use it for torrenting? As long as my ISP doesn’t know I’m illegally torrenting stuff, I’m not really concerned personally

It is as safe, it just adds extra (needed) functionality. See this post that was shared by Brickfrog right above https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/441108
