I’ve been putting off renewing my mullvad membership because of the port forwarding thing. I only want to use it for torrenting. Is it really crucial to find a VPN that supports port forwarding? If so, what’s the go to option now that it’s becoming increasingly uncommon?
I’m using gluetun with AirVPN and my transmission containers’s connection to peers isn’t great. I have port forwarding enabled (verified working using the test button in transmission). But I can connect to 0 or 1 peer out of 12 on a specific torrent, and without the VPN I can immediately connect to 6 peers.
Did you do anything tricky with your container stack that isn’t part of the gluetun guide?
