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

Good to know. I am on a private tracker that requires it so will test proton vpn. If they remove it then I guess I just leave the tracker. 🙁

Which one is that? Any I have seen just requires to seed with no mention of port forwarding.

Without port forwarding your tracker will show you as disconnected and not give you credit.
