IF only they hadn't removed port forwarding I would love Mullvad
At least they handled it well with plenty of notice and hassle-free refunds for anyone who requests them. I was sad to go but still support the company.
Where did you move to?
Airvpn - was the only suitable alternative. I miss mullvad but it works and unlimited port forwarding.
I moved back to Proton. But on Linux I still don't know how to portforward now.
What do you use port forwarding for out of interest? I'm using mullvad and it hasn't come up for me, but I don't understand the use case.
I've only ever had to use port forwarding for gaming servers. In most other cases I've found better options
