I find this interesting because I use Mozilla VPN, which is just rebranded Mullvad, and qBittorrent works just fine on it.

You can torrent without portforwarding. The only issue is on rare Linux isos. You potentially will have trouble discovering new peers. At least one person will need portforwarding.

It's more that effective seeding is very hard without a forwarded port. If you only leech, you'll be fine. But that's not how the system is envisioned.
