Didn't really have a choice:

...Regrettably individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services from ports that are forwarded from our VPN servers. This has led to law enforcement contacting us, our IPs getting blacklisted, and hosting providers cancelling us.

Big issue there is hosting providers cancelling them. Can't operate a business without that.

Short of getting their own servers of course. This update seems to be a step forward in that direction

Even if you own your own servers you still need somewhere to host them; ISPs / colocation providers are going to have the same issues with abuse.

They already own a lot of their own servers, or at least in the nordics.
