I’m still not sure why you’re trying to use port forwarding in that case. You can just use the VPN service on any device from anywhere. Port forwarding is typically only for someone hosting a server inside their network that they want outside people to be directed to when browsing to their public IP address. You don’t need it for torrenting.
Port forwarding is a function that can reside both inside your network and outside your network. What exactly are you trying to do with your ports? Generally what it does is allow traffic from the WAN zone (outside) to be directed to a specific device inside your network. Also, if you use a private tracker with good reputation there’s not a need for VPN at all. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with forwarding ports?
For my clients, we just use company shortcode+role, IE Northern Energy Exchange would be NEE-DC (domain controller) NEE-FS (file server) NEE-APP, NEE-DT-1 (desktop #1), NEE-LT-1 (laptop #1) etc. At home, my network is called Asgard and each device is related to that in some way, all themed appropriately.
There’s plenty of comments about it. If I had known it was such a sensitive topic I wouldn’t have posted it, but it’s already out there. It’ll be okay. I believe everyone has a right to any gender title they want, I wasn’t intending to push any stereotypes with this meme. People just want to be outraged I guess.
Sorry to hear that friend. Someone else commented that the patent expired recently and generic versions exist now, perhaps that is worth looking into.
