What percent of torrent users have open ports and are connectable? What would the speed difference be? (lemmy.zip)

So until now I always had closed ports because my ISP put me behind a CGNAT and can't open ports (No I don't need a vpn because no one cares in my country) Over time I just accepted that I cannot open ports but recently saw that if I tell them they will take me out of the CGNAT and be connectable, now I'm waiting for that.

Do you know what speed can you have before and after you open ports and more importantly what percent of peers have their ports open?

For what it's worth, the right VPN will allow you to port forward

AFAIK Proton is the only one, or at least one of the very few, in the market that supports Port Forwarding. Mullvad got rid of theirs, which frankly sucks because although my experience has been (mostly) great, I've also heard great things about Mullvad, and it's best (and nice) to have competitive alternatives to choose from.

AirVPN allows a reserved port, so you don’t even have to change the setting in your client every time your port changes.
