I’m mainly only using it for p2p, everything else is secondary. Portforwarding is necessary though.

Edit: Decided on AirVPN. It wasn’t too pricy, only 2 dollars above my current Usenet + Indexer plan.

      I’ve had mullvad for years but never forwarded a port. What’s the use case? Like if a game won’t connect properly or something? Just curious what I’m missing out on

          Nah, they’re shutting off port-forwarding because there were probably a bunch of users abusing the service and using it to distribute CSAM, and they got tired of having law enforcement at their door. Port-forwarding itself isn’t inherently bad, but when it’s used for that purpose it is.

            If you want privacy everyone else gets it to, its the price of the service

              Absolutely, just a shame the few people who abused it, ruined it for everyone else

      Really hope they add it back in the future. AirVPN has been great so far, but their mobile app is kind of ass (I’m also using the VPN for some other stuff outside of torrenting).
