Time to test tribler again. Great project. I installed it 3-4 years ago. Looked great, but I couldn't get it working properly, because IIRC it required two open ports, one for regular torrent protocol, another for their content discovery protocol, and my VPN provider allowed only one port available to forwarding, per user per IP.

thnx Qem for you enduring patience!

We're now multiplexing everything on 1 port. If you use our Tor-like decentralised onion routing feature that works. Sadly, in normal mode we need two forwarded ports. Both Libtorrent download lib and our decentralised gossip requires their own port. We gossip about trust, content discovery, and torrent health.

Thank you all Tribler developers. Your project is awesome. With today Internet siloed in, projects to re-decentralize are a critical need.
