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?

Port forwarding isn’t available in the US, so I was curious if you’re in the country as well. But yeah if you’re in Europe then it makes sense that it’d be available to you!

Try using this instead of the app

https://github.com/thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia

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.
