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.

Torrenting is entirely blocked by my router

Don't use the router provided by your ISP, buy your own.

I did. I put that block there :p

Could be intentional to prevent torrent leakage direct from your IP too. Could potentially also not have a choice, due to proprietary configurations, cable modem or whatever.
