What VPN should I use now that Mullvad doesn't allow portforwarding? (lemmy.world)

I'm mainly only using it for p2p, everything else is secondary. Portforwarding is necessary though.

Edit: Decided on AirVPN. It wasn't too pricy, only 2 dollars above my current Usenet + Indexer plan.

It's useful for opening up ports for Bittorrent, which is the main reason Mullvad is deciding to shut them down.

Nah, they're shutting off port-forwarding because there were probably a bunch of users abusing the service and using it to distribute CSAM, and they got tired of having law enforcement at their door. Port-forwarding itself isn't inherently bad, but when it's used for that purpose it is.

If you want privacy everyone else gets it to, its the price of the service

Absolutely, just a shame the few people who abused it, ruined it for everyone else
