I’m mainly only using it for p2p, everything else is secondary. Portforwarding is necessary though.

Edit: Decided on AirVPN. It wasn’t too pricy, only 2 dollars above my current Usenet + Indexer plan.

    It’s useful for opening up ports for Bittorrent, which is the main reason Mullvad is deciding to shut them down.

      Nah, they’re shutting off port-forwarding because there were probably a bunch of users abusing the service and using it to distribute CSAM, and they got tired of having law enforcement at their door. Port-forwarding itself isn’t inherently bad, but when it’s used for that purpose it is.

        If you want privacy everyone else gets it to, its the price of the service
