New to Soulseek, can you share files without port forwarding? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm new to Soulseek, just downloaded a bunch of music I like. I want to not be a leach and give back to the community by sharing the things I downloaded, however Mullvad doesn't allow port forwarding. Is it possible to share files on Soulseek without having open ports? Does everyone who shares stuff on Soulseek use no VPN/a VPN with port forwarding?

This may be unhelpful, but I ended up port forwarding through my VPN. I seem to recall errors with UPnP and while my connection to slsk.net is still buggy, it works better now I've manually forwarded. I had already paid the extra $2 a month to my VPN for forwarding so that I could get better torrent performance, so.
