My VPN plan is up for renewal, and I'd like to move from my current provider (Privado) to one that supports port forwarding while maintaining access to a SOCKS5 service.

AirVPN would have been my choice, but doesn't have SOCKS5.

Private Internet Access checks off the boxes but I'm not familiar with the company behind it.

Thanks for the help and recommendations.

Yeah I'm aware of that thread and participated in it at the time. I personally torrent on WS and I know lots of people do. I recommended it here because OP didn't specify that they wanted to run a seedbox like that person in the thread you refer to was doing. If you keep it casual they'll never notice you, afaict. WS is one of the few left that offer port forwarding is all I know for sure, which was what OP was asking about.

Having said that WS could've handled that shit better. I haven't heard much since then.
