Correct, in your case it is impossible to use any port forwarding until you switch VPN services. In the meantime you're basically stuck with whatever torrent speeds / connectivity you manage to achieve.
Ahh unfortunate. It looks like there was a free vpn service posted today that seems reliable. Maybe I’ll look into that. Edit: it was RiseupVPN
You can double-check but AFAIK that VPN service does not offer port forwarding. It'll probably be even slower than your current VPN service since it's not really meant for torrenting or heavy usage.
Search around for earlier posts on VPNs with port forwarding e.g.

Awesome thanks! Looks like I’m gonna check out OVPN.
