How is the Piracy community adapting to port forwarding becoming a rarer premium feature, and most users on public trackers do not have it? Is the bitorrent protocol in need of update?

Port forwarding is premium? On what exactly? I must be out of the loop...
-
Mullvad pussied out and removed port forwarding
-
Mullvad had issues with threat actors abusing its services... so mullvad decided to go with PRIVACY instead of PIRACY user base is my understanding
-
Yeah, I was affected by this and had to cancel my subscription, but found that Mullvad handled it extremely well and refunded everyone who canceled due to the removal. Had they continued to allow these abuses to continue, some government somewhere would have most certainly shut them down completely, which would have benefitted no one.
I still view them as a stellar company and would happily move back in the future if they ever offered a port forwarding solution again.

we ran out of IPv4 addresses quite some time ago. the likelihood of being on a carrier grade NAT is pretty high.
and if you're lucky enough to have access a direct IPv4 address (also a premium feature and priced as such) your ISP can still be blocking certain ports.
and on top of all that what @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com said
-

that's no problem here because bittorrent can run on any port. qbittorrent randomizes it at install
