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 believe if no one is having port forwarding (for instance for torrent where there is only a few people) it’s not possible for peers to connect between themselves?

      That’s correct, one side needs to have an open port. Side channel messaging solves who connects to who regardless of the one doing the downloading, but one must. Thus, being able to open publicly accessible ports is parrrt of people a good pirate citizen.
