As someone who has recently started seeding as much as I can, this is a great question to which I don't have the answer.

I am not renewing my Proton yearly subscription after it ends due to recent developments. They seem to be the only "big name" VPN with the port forwarding feature. I heard of OpenVPN, but have not had a chance to dig into it too much.

My ISP does not provide IPV6 support, so this will be pretty important to sort out soon.

Airvpn offers port forwarding

Aren't they located in Italy, the Shithole that keeps trying to outlaw all VPNs and/or force them to provide backdoors and identifiable customers? They can only be stopped so many times before they succeed...

Yeah it's a bit of a "for now" thing and worth keeping an eye on Italy. To their credit, they don't offer services in Italy itself anymore after the "privacy shield" bullshit because "it goes against their mission" (for what that's worth lol)

Afaik, there's not many other choices for port forwarding
