I’ve been putting off renewing my mullvad membership because of the port forwarding thing. I only want to use it for torrenting. Is it really crucial to find a VPN that supports port forwarding? If so, what’s the go to option now that it’s becoming increasingly uncommon?
I’m more concerned with the fact that they’re removing features without reducing price or making up for it elsewhere. I have no desire to support that business when there are perfectly fine alternatives.
5€ is already dirt cheap. If you have another ~ 5€ service that can max out my 1 Gbps connection when I download, I am all ears.
Would you mind making some examples please?

ProtonVPN and AirVPN off the top of my head.
ProtonVPN has dynamic port forwarding via a Windows client (or a python script if on Linux). Just a heads up, since it could be awkward to work out if you’re downloading from a headless server.
I’ve heard AirVPN is good. I switched to iVPN and I’m satisfied
Heads up if you don’t already know, IVPN recently announced they are dropping port forwarding like Mullvad recently did. https://www.ivpn.net/blog/gradual-removal-of-port-forwarding/
Oh motherfucker
AirVPN I guess then
I use PIA (probably the cheapest out there). If you just care about torrenting, they’re quite good. I can saturate my Gbit connection and they offer PF (only for p2p applications though)
