Mullvad axing port forwarding, where to? (lemmynsfw.com)

I'm considering ProtonVPN to replace mullvad as they do have port forwarding for torrenting. I also did a quick search for VPN communities, but didn't find any. Maybe just not from my instance.

Just wondering if they'll end up axing port forwarding, if I pay for a extended length plan and then they axe the feature, I will have wasted quite a bit of money. At least with mullvad, it was monthly anyway, so not much to lose.

You really don't need port forwarding for torrents. If you want to pay for it windscribe and airvpn have worked for me in the past but ive never had a problem with downloading or seeding without port forwarding.

I am aware of that, however, I want to be as discoverable as possible so that other people without port forwarding can connect to me, increasing my capacity to share and care.
