I have been out of the loop for over a decade, where do I begin?

Title, I haven't Yo ho ho'd in forever in internet time.. What/where do I need to start again? I'm tired of ads and 3+ streaming services to watch stuff that's interesting. Running windows. Thanks dudes and dudettes.
Remind me please. What is the problem with Nord?
I think it's mostly to do with their advertising tactics and misleading people in what their service is actually doing.
They also had a data breach and did not handle it well.
Maybe there's other stuff I don't remember.. I've never used them, I've been on Mullvad for some years now but considering proton next.
Alright, thanks for the info. Didn't know that.
Primarily they don’t have port forwarding which is necessary for torrenting
I’ve been using it for a while and had no idea it didn’t support port forwarding! I know it’s important for torrenting, but my private tracker ratios are all 2:1 or more (my record is 6:1)
I should read up on why it’s important.
The Problem with not having Port forwarding is that you can only connect to people which have port forwarding. That means If the seeds are also using no port forwarding you cannot download.
Because the people in your private trackers have port forwarding enabled so a connection is still made but someone else who hasn't setup port forwarding won't be able to connect to you.
