perfect-privacy requires PF to be set every 7 days. otherwise it’s good.

Jesus what a pain in the ass. I get that there are limited ports but that would drive me up the wall pretty quickly.

You have the option to auto-renew them. No downsides here imo.

The explanation of auto-renew says: "On expiration, new port forwardings will be created. The source port will be chosen randomly.". How will that work with bt client?

Not too sure. Right now I have a 1-to-1 forwarding which will expire later tonight and I have the auto-renew on. I will let you know if the port switches up or not.

Edit: I would not recommend Perfect-Privacy, their autorenew does not work.
