I am following the linked guide for protonvpn to try to get soulseek to work and the soulseek port test tool keeps on saying the port is closed. However when I run natpmpc it seems to be successful - anyone have ideas how to get it up and running?

Are you using OpenVPN or Wireguard configs?

For Wireguard I had to slightly modify the commands to open a port to:

natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 tcp 60

natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 udp 60

while true ; do date ; natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 tcp 60 && natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 udp 60 || { echo -e "ERROR with natpmpc command \a" ; break ; } ; sleep 45 ; done
