I created a script exactly for that, I'm using it for months now and it's working fine: https://github.com/giu176/ProtonVPN-auto-NATPMP
I know, I know. But when I learned how to use a computer at school 20 years ago it wasn't an option or if it was the teachers didn't want to take any risk.

If you are using Linux I wrote a script just for that!

I'm using it on my headless server and it worked fine for the last two months. Tell me if you need help in the setup (the Readme should be exhaustive).
Thank you for the time and effort in the reply. The information you gave are very useful.
Thanks for all the useful informations. In my current setup I use a Proton vpn tunnel on a mikrotik router to route all the traffic from my torrenting machines through it, the only problem is that the router doesn't support NAT-PMP which is used by Proton to open ports on their side of the tunnel. Is this a problem? If I understand correctly PF does not influence my ability to download but only my uploads (without PF my files can't be accessed via TCP I guess). I don't think I need PF because I already had to limit my uploads because of my shitty internet connection, in good days I have 2Mbps upload, this limited bandwidth was always saturated by qbittorrent. I know that it's not fair p2p but otherwise I couldn't even use my internet.
I'm asking for confirmation here, when I'll move to a place with fiber I'll change my setup for sure! Or maybe I'll go through some load balancing shenanigans on my network and re-enable uploads in some way..
If you are a pc enthusiast I'm going to say you need a sensor panel. I built one myself, 7" lcd display and driver board costs less then 30€ and the result is incredible. I always look at it for any sort of reason it has temperatures, FPS, cpu/gpu/ram usage, network bandwidth.. I always know what's going on!

I created a simple script to automatically request a port to ProtonVPN servers and assign it to qbittorrent:
