Senior engineer building an A/V CDN for a living on a small team at AS2818. Where we get to deal with thousands of SSDs which is “fun”. I also write a lot of Lua which actually is fun.
@Mothra I use Mullvad. It is an excellent service. I buy 12 month scratch off cards for added privacy. Totally unlinking my Mullvad from card details.
I don’t use the service that often, but I like having the option.
You are correct that it no longner supports port forwarding. I don’t torrent at all but my understanding is you should still be able to do that fine without port forwarding.
I would ditch NordVPN asap. They do some shady shit. Switch to Mullvad, use Wireguard.
@Mothra Mullvad supports Wireguard and OpenVPN. Of the two Wireguard I just better and faster. 😁
If you’re on Linux it’s also super simple to configure Wireguard and have it constantly running in the background, super lightweight. I use it this way for site-to-site VPN of my servers in different hosting environments.
