Mullvad axing port forwarding, where to? (lemmynsfw.com)

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.

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.
