VPN Recommendations? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

It may be worth trying

You mentioned removal of port forwarding as an issue with Mullvad, why would you consider migrating to a much spammier VPN that has never had port forwarding? LOL that message really does sound like it was sponsored by NordVPN :P

Didn't know they don't have port forwarding, thanks for pointing it out, I did a google search and here's the link stating they don't offer port forwarding.

"Port forwarding and triggering could work with a VPN protocol in general, but not with NordVPN. Our apps block almost all port communication from within your device except for the ones most commonly used by popular applications."
