Forgot one point
- got in trouble for not offering port forwarding anymore
Yeah I had to move to another provider over this. It’s sad, I like their policies and services, but it’s a deal breaker.
why do you need to port forward over vpn?
You can reach more leechers when sending a torrent if you port forward your torrent client. It was awesome.
Getting in trouble? It’s more like:
- Server providers threatening to terminate business with Mullvad because some of its users used port forwarding to host contents that meant legal trouble.
- Mullvad chose to terminate support for port forwarding in a transparent way and gave clear dates to prepare. This was done instead of selling off their users or collaborating with whatever legal threats they were facing.
I don’t like it, but at least I understand their business decision. Even if I took my business elsewhere, they have a solid point on transparency.
Agreed, but getting in trouble sounds funnier
Happy customer for years.
It’s a shame port forwarding is not supported anymore, but I’m thinking of other ways to supply the deficiency instead of switching providers.
What other ways are you referring to, if I may ask?
Having a VPS and routing all traffic between VPS and homeserver using wireguard. It’s often discussed in selfhosting communities where the admin is behind restrictive firewalls and policies (which means no port forwarding) or cannot afford to reveal their home ``IPs
Keep it up, guys. Mullvad is since years my go to VPN.
Good VPN.
