I’ve used Mullvad for years, but the lack of port-forwarding is becoming a pain in the proverbial. I’d been considering OVPN, but does anyone have any experience with that, IVPN or Proton? What do you consider the better option?
I don’t understand why so many privacy respecting vpns just lack port forwarding. It’s really frustrating and I don’t know why mullvad would remove it.
I’m using Mullvad at the moment as well and looking to change for the same reason. I’ve been looking at switching to AirVPN once all my credit runs out on Mullvad. They have a similar model to Mullvad, but they allow port forwarding.
I realise port forwarding is something lots of people want but the reasons are nothing to do with privacy. Mullvad remains, in my opinion, the best solution for those whose priority is privacy.

Something to do with it enabling nonces I think

IVPN removed port-forwarding two years ago.
I’ve been using OVPN with port forwarding for a couple of years, it works great for my use cases.
I haven’t used other providers, so I can’t really compare to others though.
Same. I’ve used OVPN for years, port forwarding seems to work as I get the green check in rutorrent. I haven’t tried others.
OVPN and IVPN are both solid , you can go for either ! Proton doesn’t support port forwarding on any tier
Proton VPN absolutely does support port forwarding, just not on the free tier.

PIA is working quite well with this container.

IVPN don’t allow port forwarding either.
