    The port you’re opening is with your VPN provider not your local network hence why you need a VPN with port forwarding.

        100%. The port gets opened on the VPN, nothing on your router (which is a risk). You input this VPN port into Qbittorrent (or whatever your torrent client is) and then people can connect to you. Without this, in QBit specifically, the little icon at the bottom of the window showing your connection status will be red (no connection) or yellow (limited connection) and as I said earlier, you won’t be able to participate in private trackers since they won’t show you as connectable.
