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.

What about Windscribe? They seem to have port forwarding available.

But they fixed the issue, and documented on why it happened and how it got fixed on their blog. Pretty transparent to me.

Yeah, they fixed things and owned up to it, best you can do when you fuck things up: https://blog.windscribe.com/ukrainian-server-seizure-a-commentary-and-state-of-the-industry-e71e8d205b26/. I feel like people give them too much shit for this, just like with that Proton climate activist case

Agreed. Though Proton was barely affected since everyone started to dickride them for all their other services. Unfair treatment, but that's what the privacy community does nowadays 🤷
