I’ve been putting off renewing my mullvad membership because of the port forwarding thing. I only want to use it for torrenting. Is it really crucial to find a VPN that supports port forwarding? If so, what’s the go to option now that it’s becoming increasingly uncommon?
I tried getting port forwarding to work with PIA, but it seems to be unavailable within the US. Has that been the case for you as well? Not sure if it’d be worth using an international server with 1/10 the speed in order to enable port forwarding, but I would love to be able to be connectable.
How do you use it? Why do you say it is not available? I am in Europe but I’ve never seen anybody report what you’re saying.
Like I said, it is limited to p2p applications. You cannot host a web server or something similar.
Try using this instead of the app

It’s a lot more technical but it’s worth trying.
I’m actually using that exact same docker image :) port forwarding still doesn’t work within the US though. I love the speeds I get from Wireguard compared to OpenVPN though.
