How is the Piracy community adapting to port forwarding becoming a rarer premium feature, and most users on public trackers do not have it? Is the bitorrent protocol in need of update? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm very uneducated about this stuff. How does IPV6 fix that issue?

It doesn't fix it, per se, rather removes the need for layers of hacks such as nat and cg-nat. Every device gets a globally routable IP - no need to forward anything, just open the port you want.

This doesn't solve for VPNs no longer offering it though, unless the VPN services started offering pure v6 via tunnel at some point while I wasn't looking. I know I've never seen a v6 pier in the last few years since I started sailing again.
