I’m considering ProtonVPN to replace mullvad as they do have port forwarding for torrenting. I also did a quick search for VPN communities, but didn’t find any. Maybe just not from my instance.

Just wondering if they’ll end up axing port forwarding, if I pay for a extended length plan and then they axe the feature, I will have wasted quite a bit of money. At least with mullvad, it was monthly anyway, so not much to lose.

    I use Proton and it pretty fast IMO even without port fowarding since I can’t use it.

    And it has special option that prevent tracking in the event of a warrant to get your IP and also a system to avoid streaming service blocking VPNs’ addresses

    My second point, if you’re on Linux, don’t expect all the options proposed. The Linux app is pretty bad for now. No port fowarding, no split tunneling. Just kill switch

    They supposed to remake it eventually… but it’s been a while

    So I recommend it if your on windows or Mac.

    With Linux it’s usable but for the price, It’s not good

    That being said, you can apparently use openvpn app to use it with more options, but I hadn’t have the time to try it yet.

    The cli Proton is supposed to have more options but I couldn’t make it work even by following the doc. I might be the problem on this one.
