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?

Why is everyone anti NordVPN again?

They are a great VPN. People hated them because it's a fad to hate on the status quo, as well as their heavy and annoying advertising campaign.

I have had them. At least for torrenting they are crap. No port-forwarding and crappy speeds. I'm not using them now, and I'm very happy.

Also to watch content from other regions from streaming services. All their servers were banned..

At least in the context of the question:

  1. they don't have port forwarding. 2) their speeds for torrenting are crap.

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

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.

I'm still able to seed using Mullvad ¯_(ツ)_/¯
