Recently mullvad stopped the port forwarding, are there some other trustworthy VPN to do Torrenting out there or others solutions to do torrenting with Mullvad?

I started with Cyberghost because they were cheap and had no issues. ProtonVPN my go to now though.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using the free tier of hide.me coming from 2 years of surfshark. The speeds aren’t great. But it’s $0 and it works 🤷‍♂️

Got a lifetime subscription for FastestVPN some years ago. Its slow, but it works and is unlimited so 🙆‍♂️

Yeah... I'm not sure how much I would trust that.

Its not for privacy, but for deniability. I wouldn't "trust" any traditional VPN.

I wouldn't trust them to keep me 'hidden' but I do trust the commercial VPNs not to snoop on my traffic or do other nefarious things. Something like this, I wouldn't trust either way.

I'm still using Mullvad and QBittorrent and I torrent my bloody black guts out with no noticed degradation in speeds since their announcement that they were no longer supporting port forwarding. It's anecdotal, I know, but so far I haven't noticed any problems.
