Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.

No public audits - I don’t trust. Italy is also not exactly a privacy (and personal rights) haven.

how exactly do you trust a company because of an audit that they dont log? they can easily just turn off logs for when they are going to be there then turn them back on afterwards

Audits check that too

how exactly do they check that

Would you consider server seizures by LE with no data found to be valid proof of no logging? If so there are a couple VPNs I know which you would probably like.

Sure, shoot. I’ll research anything. Just that everything so far has either been a privacy disaster or “oh don’t worry they only leak your entire data when you break the law! it’s your bad opsec!”

Some lesser known ones :

  • Perfect-privacy, they have had 2 or 3 server seizures in the past and 0 information was found on them. It is a little pricy at $13 a month, but I do believe they stand up to their promises.
  • Cryptostorm, they are very transparent on their forums (which you can only access on an onion service) aswell as their blogs. Iirc $6 a month and $16 per 3 months.
  • nVpn, pretty sure they’ve have a server seizure with 0 information found, but when you buy this you can only get one server, huge downside imo.

All of them have port-forwarding, only Perfect-privacy is missing wireguard, which is a downside if you have 1gbit fibre. Lmk if you got questions!
