I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions.

Screenshot is from Exodus service, which let's you view what exactly perimissions and trackers each app uses. You can check out the results and the tool for yourself here: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.expressvpn.vpn/latest/

I used to host my Minecraft server safely 😭 don't know any trusted VPN that has Port Forwarding

ProtonVPN still offers it I believe

You can set up a VPS and tunnel that to your minecraft server using wireguard some iptables magic if you're into Linux.

AirVPN still has port forwarding. They are run by a non profit activist group and you can use it without their app. Works with openvpn and wireguard natively.

I use Azire, maybe see if they would work for you? They have port forwarding and don't rotate their IPs that often.

PIA has port forwarding but it costs extra

[-] Mr_1077@monero.town 4 points 1 year ago

It doesn't cost extra, though the IP changes often. You could however buy a dedicated IP, which supports PF and costs extra. I tried PIA in July and it worked well, but the IP changes were annoying when hosting my Minecraft server.

Use something like NoIP.
