New to Soulseek, can you share files without port forwarding? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm new to Soulseek, just downloaded a bunch of music I like. I want to not be a leach and give back to the community by sharing the things I downloaded, however Mullvad doesn't allow port forwarding. Is it possible to share files on Soulseek without having open ports? Does everyone who shares stuff on Soulseek use no VPN/a VPN with port forwarding?

My understanding is that one of the two people involved in the exchange needs to have ports forwarded. So you just have access to less files and less people have access to your files

For torrenting yes but some systems punish you harder: you can upload without forwarding, but not download
