Please see the title. I'm not really sure. It's going to be used only for torrenting.

Hello Newbie_
Take a look here:

IMPORTANT: do NOT forward on your router the same ports you use on your listening services while connected to the VPN. Doing so exposes your system to correlation attacks and potentially causes unencrypted packets to be sent outside the tunnel from your client. However, if you connect a router directly (for example DD-WRT, Tomato based firmware router) an additional step is required, please see how to forward ports in dd-wrt tomato with iptables:

Hello!

If, and only if, you connect directly the router to AirVPN servers and share the AirVPN traffic with device(s) behind the router, please see here:
https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/3/tutorials/firewall/#port-forwards

From the documentation it is not totally clear whether the "WireGuard" external zone for port forwarding applies also when the router runs WireGuard in "client mode": it should work fine since a WireGuard interface does not have a fixed role as client or server, it can act as both. Thus, chances are that the port forwarding documented for WireGuard in "server mode" will work identically in "client mode". For any problem please contact their customer support and if possible report back here.

Kind regards
