Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Can you explain how port forwarding is used for torrenting and how it works with other VPNs?
Basically, if you aren't port forwarded, you will get less peers. This is because you aren't allowing incoming traffic, so only other port forwarded peers can talk to you. If you are port forwarded, you get all the peers.
With vpns that support port forwarding, you can set the port forwarded port on the VPN to the port in your bittorrent client and it will allow incoming traffic.
Interesting, thanks for answering me. I didn't know about this.
