The first thing I do with my isp provided modem is set it to bridge mode.

Does STUN no longer work to allow port-forwarding when needed by P2P applications?

Contact your ISP, and request for CGNAT removal. Unless you live in Germany.
CGNAT is the new reality, we must embrace IPv6.
Why not in Germany?
I mean, torrenting in Germany is a big no without a VPN.

Assuming you mean IPv4 CGNAT: IPv6.
I don't see that where I live - some ISPs offer port forwarding, some don't. Some just give you IPv6 with ports unlocked manually in router config
Port forwarding is premium? On what exactly? I must be out of the loop...
we ran out of IPv4 addresses quite some time ago. the likelihood of being on a carrier grade NAT is pretty high.
and if you're lucky enough to have access a direct IPv4 address (also a premium feature and priced as such) your ISP can still be blocking certain ports.
and on top of all that what @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com said
your ISP can still be blocking certain ports
that's no problem here because bittorrent can run on any port. qbittorrent randomizes it at install

It still works for now, but it would be neat if only the uploading part needed to go through a VPN since that's the bit you can get in trouble for.
Would need a way of obfuscating the uploaders and downloaders though.
I use Proton VPN which has port forwarding
Rent a seed box. That's the best solution for everyone.
