Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.
I saw someone say that Proton implemented their port forwarding in a different way than Mullvad that negates a lot of the issues that caused them to axe it
Hi, I looked into this and from what I can gather, ProtonVPN gives out temporary ports for port forwarding. I’m not 100% how long these ports are leased for, but as long as you run a script like this to move your torrent client’s port around to match ProtonVPN’s, I can see how this would work. It’s not perfect, but it’s workable. I wonder if Mullvad will implement something like this to achieve parity.
