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.
Edit: I see AirVPN was mentioned by op in its post. Regarding it being “not private enough” and reports of users receiving DMCA notices:
I highly doubt these reports are correct, and even it they were, I don’t think it would be the fault of AirVPN.
From a technical perspective AirVPN is excellent. They offer every feature you can imagine and allow you to work with native WireGuard, OpenVPN or their own client.
But this technical freedom might lead to some misconfigurations out there, like DNS leaking due to not enforcing changes to resolv.conf etc.
if you’re not that technical, use their official client.
Yep, they’re my main VPN as well. Not super good at avoiding being caught by VPN blockers though, I have proton for just sites that scream if you’re trying to use a VPN.

Big fan of Air. The owner is a cool guy, they support privacy orgs, and the VPN itself is great.
