Neither Mullvad nor iVPN are offering port forwarding so neither will be ideal for torrenting.
Correct as stated above, for "security". I also put the providers that DO work for torrenting since port forwarding is required to connect to a LOT of peers, a person who doesn't know much about VPNs to begin with probably doesn't understand that tech jargon we use, admittedly there is always a LOT to learn.
Mullvad does port forward
They ended it July 1st.
Not anymore. As of May 29th, "[n]ew port forwards will no longer be supported, and existing ports will be removed 2023-07-01"--meaning by now, no port forwarding is supported.
