I've been trying to use a VPN while using this. Without the VPN, the port test comes up open. However, when using a VPN they're closed. Didn't seem to affect the downloads. Should I have these ports open? I tried to share some stuff, and it seems like it is. I've even configured the port forward thing to what my VPN says is open when I connect and didn't seem to work. You got any ideas?

You have to port forward at the VPN level, this is why everyone was pissed at Mullvad for ending it earlier this year. Currently the only VPNs supporting it afaik are ProtonVPN and AirVPN. You can still dl/ul without PF, but you can only connect to people who do have it enabled if you do not (for instance, mullvad stops me from PF now, so we could not connect if you had the VPN, but we could without VPN if it says "open.")

Okay.

Yes I'm using proton. And when I enable it it gives me a different port every time. So, then I'm supposed to put that number into the settings part? Like where exactly? Maybe you can shoot me a DM if you want to. There's like a place to specify port numbers.

Yeah, use that number in the settings part, where it says port. Iirc since it has a range you do the port on one and then one number higher on the other, i.e "port 666 - port 667."
