I have 10TB worth of torrents, unlimited gigabit fiber internet and Surfshark VPN. How do I seed more?
Get proton, pia, airvpn, torguard or any other vpn that allows port forwarding. This is your limiting factor. Also look how to bind the vpn interface to qbittorrent from advanced settings.

Help: What is the Best VPN for torrenting, I'm currently using AirVPN
Hii, I used AirVPN for a while so IK what you're talking about. ngl its solid for port forwarding. But BambooVPN gave me better speeds and a built-in kill switch.

Thinking on switching from Mullvad to Proton. Any experiences / recommendations / reasoning why and why not?
Mllvad doesn't support port forwarding so an option that does is an improvement. For me it comes down to AirVPN or Proton, each with an advantage over the other. AirVPN has a stable port, whereas Proton the port changes every time it reconnects so you need to change it in qBittorrent (there is a scr

Seeding without a VPN
Or just use ProtonVPN or AirVPN which have port forwarding built in their client. This will skyrocket your up and downs

Out of my depth: Can Tailscale encrypt my traffic so my ISP can't see?
No, is not gonna help with your use case I suggest to do a couple of research in regards of gluetun + a strong and fast-moving stream of water (from Oxford Dictionary) and a port-forwarding friendly VPN of your choice (ProtonVPN? AirVPN?)

Using Nicotine+ for awhile now...
And AirVPN’s port DOESN’T change every time it starts.

Is Private VPN a good option for port forwarding?
You can use scripts to automatically switch ports in Qbittorrent if you're using Proton. AirVPN is also another choice if you're looking to switch VPNs, it supports port forwarding too.

Open Port Forwarding using ProtonVPN or AirVPN. It will DWARF whatever setup you do without open port

How do ppl have speeds like this, while I'm lucky to get 1m /s on the same file
You need a VPN with port forwarding like AirVPN (which I’m currently using). ProtonVPN may be more attractive but its port changes every time you connect, which means you have to manually change it every single time. Once you port forward, your speeds will skyrocket. Also make sure to disable uPnP

Torrening guide
Mullvad is hardly a good recommendation for torrenting as it doesn't support port forwarding. OP, if you want to torrent safely in a country that enforces copyright protections then you need a reliable, paid, VPN. Proton and AirVPN are recommended and cost just a few bucks a month.
