I've been putting off renewing my mullvad membership because of the port forwarding thing. I only want to use it for torrenting. Is it really crucial to find a VPN that supports port forwarding? If so, what's the go to option now that it's becoming increasingly uncommon?

How do you use it? Why do you say it is not available? I am in Europe but I’ve never seen anybody report what you’re saying.

Like I said, it is limited to p2p applications. You cannot host a web server or something similar.

Port forwarding isn’t available in the US, so I was curious if you’re in the country as well. But yeah if you’re in Europe then it makes sense that it’d be available to you!

Try using this instead of the app

It’s a lot more technical but it’s worth trying.
