Yeah, we get the VPN part. What about the port-forwarding part?

I might have used the wrong word. I think the term is binding a VPN to a torrenting application so that all data going in andd out of pass thru the vpns servers

But isn't that how VPNs work, binding the network interface connected to it to the applications?
