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.

Proton will let you mail them cash like Mullvad so that seems like the logical choice

Interesting, protonVPN is shown with a beta port forwarding, dynamic. Maybe I'm wrong about static/dynamic fowarding ports. Dynamic ports might actually help them not get hit by CP distributors, as a dynamic port isn't something that can be bookmarked.

Edit: Yeah I see in their doco NAT-PMP. Guess I was straight up wrong about that stuff haha (sorry @ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat . I'm feeling more confident about proton now.
