I already had a cyberghost sub, but decided to try to switch to something better for seeding.

I have tested ProtonVPN and PIA, but ended up refunding PIA as the port forwarding didn't work once. ProtonVPN has worked maybe 5% of the time, and will likely be refunded as well.

Is there such a thing as a VPN that can consistently forward ports? I'm considering trying AirVPN next, but am hoping someone could confirm whether it works or not first. I'm also open to any other recommendations.

Thank you!

You can also download their OpenVPN configs that include port forwarding:

I've been using this method for a while and it's flawless. It doesn't require their app at all.

There's a few manual steps you have to take each time you connect the vpn, so it's a touch annoying, but it does work.
