Seconding AdGuard. Also, there’s no need to pay, the free tier is more than sufficient. Links for convenience:
There’s a reason why most providers don’t allow that feature anymore
Yes, cheese pizza
It’s said that port forwarding is a security risk
Says who? Assuming a fully patched system/client and a properly configured firewall/network, I'd love to hear more about these "risks".
Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.
Only if you don't care about seeding
Based. I use gluetun with qbt and ProtonVPN (with port forwarding). Despite this being a tricky config, it was still pretty easy to setup. Can share bash scripts if anyone is interested.
Allegedly Tim Cook does the same thing. Can't imagine what he'd be doing 16h a day, but I've heard he's almost always at Apple Park
Just updated to the latest iOS (17.4.1
) and it (un)fortunately does not work 🥲

- Safari: AdGuard (free tier is fine)
- Firefox: uBlock origin
- Chrome: uBlock origin
100% this. OP is describing a great plot for an B-tier Hollywood movie, but reality tends to be much less thrilling. Obligatory xkcd.
This. I switched over to protonvpn, but I’d switch back in a heartbeat if Mullvad re-enables port forwarding.
Wow I had no idea that this existed for such a long time. I've clearly been living under a rock... 😅
