Mullvad is dropping support for port forwarding as of July 1st (a lack of which cripples torrenting), so this actually no longer a good option. I'm miffed about it since I just set it all up a couple weeks ago. I haven't done my research to see if there are any trustworthy VPN providers left which offer port forwarding.
