Which VPN to choose and why
I’ve used Mullvad for years, but the lack of port-forwarding is becoming a pain in the proverbial. I’d been considering OVPN, but does anyone have any experience with that, IVPN or Proton? What do you consider the better option?
PIA is working quite well with this container.
OVPN and IVPN are both solid , you can go for either ! Proton doesn’t support port forwarding on any tier
Proton VPN absolutely does support port forwarding, just not on the free tier.
I don’t understand why so many privacy respecting vpns just lack port forwarding. It’s really frustrating and I don’t know why mullvad would remove it.
Something to do with it enabling nonces I think
Well Mullvad used to have port-forwarding, either it was a pain to maintain or it was abused
I’m using Mullvad at the moment as well and looking to change for the same reason. I’ve been looking at switching to AirVPN once all my credit runs out on Mullvad. They have a similar model to Mullvad, but they allow port forwarding.
IVPN don’t allow port forwarding either.
I realise port forwarding is something lots of people want but the reasons are nothing to do with privacy. Mullvad remains, in my opinion, the best solution for those whose priority is privacy.
IVPN removed port-forwarding two years ago.
