The paid ProtonVPN has port-forwarding for its Windows app, not for Linux yet though.
If you download a wireguard/openVPN conf file from Proton it will let you enable nat-pmp which is basically automatic port forwarding. It seems to work fine on a Linux machine running qbittorrent, but your case might be different.
Proton has its issues. Cant use killswitch together with split tunneling and not all servers have port forwarding enabled
This is fine with me. Kill switches aren't perfect so I just have QBit bound to the VPN so it won't run without it.
Of course not a problem for qbit but its a problem for browsers.
Yes, but can they handle the influx of people coming for port forwarding with their servers? This seems to be why IVPN has claimed they are not offering it; and removing the feature from paid subscribers. There is a lack of logic in removing it from existing clients who renew each year.
