Really the only safe, cheap and sustainable way nowadays is to use docker + gluetun + mullvad VPN (or your preferred VPN.

VPNs are cheap and they're worth it.

Mullvad is dropping support for port forwarding as of July 1st (a lack of which cripples torrenting), so this actually no longer a good option. I'm miffed about it since I just set it all up a couple weeks ago. I haven't done my research to see if there are any trustworthy VPN providers left which offer port forwarding.
