How important is port forwarding, actually? (lemmy.one)

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?

Try using this instead of the app

https://github.com/thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia

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

I’m actually using that exact same docker image :) port forwarding still doesn’t work within the US though. I love the speeds I get from Wireguard compared to OpenVPN though.
