Recently mullvad stopped the port forwarding, are there some other trustworthy VPN to do Torrenting out there or others solutions to do torrenting with Mullvad?

Mullvad vpn is great. They offer different ways to pay so you can maintain privacy and you only pay for the amount of time you want.

Why are people downvoting? Is there something wrong with Mullvad? As far as I was aware, it was one of the good one out there...

I started with Cyberghost because they were cheap and had no issues. ProtonVPN my go to now though.

I torrent all my Linux distros with Mullvad. No problems here.

You absolute maniac.

Same, but for me it's libreoffice updates and protonvpn. We're a couple of badasses.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using the free tier of hide.me coming from 2 years of surfshark. The speeds aren’t great. But it’s $0 and it works 🤷‍♂️

I'm still using Mullvad and QBittorrent and I torrent my bloody black guts out with no noticed degradation in speeds since their announcement that they were no longer supporting port forwarding. It's anecdotal, I know, but so far I haven't noticed any problems.

Got a lifetime subscription for FastestVPN some years ago. Its slow, but it works and is unlimited so 🙆‍♂️

Yeah... I'm not sure how much I would trust that.

[–] Roxxor@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its not for privacy, but for deniability. I wouldn't "trust" any traditional VPN.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't trust them to keep me 'hidden' but I do trust the commercial VPNs not to snoop on my traffic or do other nefarious things. Something like this, I wouldn't trust either way.
