My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don’t look so “safe and private” as they want you to think so it’s hard to really figure it out. I don’t want to spend too much since I don’t use them very often but I kinda like the “change catalog of netflix” thing and to be safe while doing some “”“”“”“shady”“”“”" stuff

    They have recently removed support for port forwarding. That won’t stop a user being able to torrent but it will stop seeding and will affect discoverability and speed somewhat.

    Has no negative impact on their privacy features

      Thanks for the correction and adding more information! I’ve considered using it, hence my quick search and vague information about it.

      Not being able to seed is a bit of a deal-breaker for me, but that’ll depend from one person to the other.

        A lot of people feel the same re:seeding and it is unfortunate but from reading their blog post about it, it was getting massively abused. Over on r/mullvadvpn someone stated there were a few people using it to serve CASM which makes their decision to remove the feature totally understandable.
