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?

Air VPN as it supports port forwarding. PF isn't as important if you only download popular new content, as there are usually enough connectable seeders on popular torrents. But PF is absolutely crucial if you want to be able to obtain old or rare content or if you use private trackers.

I'm honestly baffled that so many are still recommending Mullvad after they made such a stunning reversal of their friendly policy towards p2p by removing port forwarding. I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them.

I used to use Air but the speeds were absolutely abysmal. 2-3 MB/s vs 50-55 MB/s on mullvad. Has the situation improved at all?

[–] bier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

for me it was 70MB/s on mullvad and 50MB/s on AirVPN

FYI, changing from one exit node to another can change speeds drastically.
