    Advertising for mullvad harms the peer2peer network. (They blocked port forwarding and won’t be bringing it back)

      Are there any VPNs that didn’t? I couldn’t really find any, and tbh it’s not a massive issue for torrenting. I still upload a fair bit, but obviously not as much as I would be if I had ports open.

        AirVPN allow port forwarding.

        I use Mullvad for my day to day devices like my phone and laptop, and AirVPN in my homelab for things like torrenting.

      Fair point. I just assumed most people reading my message wouldn’t care much about torrenting, but in this economy where censorship is pretty much happening, port forwarding would definitely be a plus. Do you have better suggestions?
