Why port forwarding off specifically?
But my nicotine+ connection....
Huh, how the hell does turning off port forwarding improve privacy? I am so confused, security yes but privacy.
when you use port forwarding, you're opening yourself up to a lot of malicious activity. Someone could maliciously plant some CP on your hard drive if you have port forwarding enabled.
