Proton VPN currently only supports ephemeral remote [port forwarding](https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding/) via NAT-PMP, with 60 second lease times. The Windows app provides an easy to access option for it, while on other operating systems you'll need to run your own [NAT-PMP client](https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding-manual-setup/). Torrent applications often support NAT-PMP natively.

Proton VPN has their [Stealth](https://protonvpn.com/blog/stealth-vpn-protocol/) protocol which helps in situations where VPN protocols like OpenVPN or Wireguard are blocked. Stealth works by using an obfuscated TLS tunnel over TCP making it more difficult for deep packet inspection (DPI) to block. Unfortunately, Stealth is not yet available on Windows or Linux. Proton VPN has their [Stealth](https://protonvpn.com/blog/stealth-vpn-protocol/) protocol which *may* help in situations where VPN protocols like OpenVPN or Wireguard are blocked with various rudimentary techniques. Stealth encapsulates the VPN tunnel in TLS session in order to look like more generic internet traffic.
Unfortunately it does not work very well in countries where sophisticated filters are deployed that analyze all outgoing traffic in an attempt to discover encrypted tunnels. Stealth is also not yet available on [Windows](https://github.com/ProtonVPN/win-app/issues/64) or Linux.
