Any VPNs comparable to IVPN and Mullvad by privacy, but also have port forwarding? (pawb.social)

Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.

I moved from mullvad to ivpn and now again on the lookout. I guess i2p is “the future” but right now I’m not sure how that works with private trackers.

Whilst you can still torrent without port forwarding I don’t think seeding works right?

Seeding still works without port forwarding but uploading your owns torrents is not possible

That's not entirely true- you can upload your own, but you can only seed to users that do have port forwarding. On many trackers, that initial seed is all going to seed boxes with an autograb script enabled anyway, and those do have port forwarding.
