Hello, all

I'm sorry if there is an FAQ somewhere. My VPN is about enter it's yearly billing cycle and I thought I would come over here and see if anyone had a better suggestion. I've been using IPvanish for the last 10 years and have been pretty satisfied. I picked it by going into the darkweb and seeing what the criminals recommended to each other.

If anyone has other suggestions or tales before I renew, I would love to check it out.

mullvad but you cant seed while torrenting with it due to no port forwarding

You can seed, it's just slow. It'll only connect to other users that have closed ports. With ports open, it'll connect to both, but as said not possible with Mullvad with port forwarding disabled. That's at least as far as I know
