I've got a big music library of CD rips that I'd like to share, but my ISP routes my traffic, meaning I can't forward shit to my computer. I can't change ISPs because I live in a functional monopoly and this is the only provider with reasonable data rates. Is there anything I can do to share? Thanks in advance!

A vpn with port forwarding should still work. Connection to the tunnel provider is inside-out, presents the vpn as the external host, then forwards traffic back down the tunnel. I know AirVPN has it still.

Yep. Can confirm. I'm using AirVPN to do this

Cool, I got that. Thanks!

You can use without port forwarding. Others without open ports won’t be able to upload to or download from you and give versa. There’s a sticky on the Reddit explaining this

If you can’t forward ports Soulseek will still work okay. Don’t let that stop you from joining

I have been using soulseek for the last 6 months without port forwarding and plenty of people have downloaded a lot of stuff from me, however I have just switched to airvpn as well and can confirm now have port forwarding so Im hoping more people can access my files!

Interesting, I'd heard that you wouldn't be able to share at all in this case. Good to know.

I ran into issues with sometimes not being able to view some other users files when I requested a list of what they were sharing, but I don't really know the ins and outs of how it all works, I just know that plenty of people downloaded a lot of stuff from me so it must have been working for some people :)
