They're removing Port Forwarding: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/5/29/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-ports/
Let me put on my tinfoil hat for a second: I have a heck of a time believing other VPN providers haven't encountered the same issues as Mullvad and to me, this signals that Mullvad's competitors are working with, lets say, organizations that would be highly interested in what you're doing.
Sorry but I’m confused. You saying Mullvad has more integrity or less?
I think he's saying that all VPNs that do port forward will interest governments/police and the ones that are still operating are probably only operating because they got a deal to not be prosecuted in exchange of letting those entities see the traffic. Mullvad being Mullvad, they will never do that so instead of having all those legals threats, they just shut down the port-forward service. Tbh I'm surprised it ran as long as it did.
How does this affect a torrent service using a deluge container for example?
