Hello all!

I have been out of the piracy game since a little before mullvad lost port-forwarding; I know these things are ever changing, and to my understanding ivpn is a good bet at this moment in time.

I was wondering what everyone else has been using. As well as if anyone has tried the gui client for ivpn either built from source or the AUR build(I do use arch btw).

I am open to any vpn client that has a good reputation in the community, and build-able from a repository; A gui is preferred but not necessary, and absolutely NO account creation (Except for generic account numbers of course).

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

What does port forwarding do in this case? A lot of ppl are mentioning it.... "And at this point I'm too afraid to ask"

Honestly same, I just know that the speeds were better when the port forwarding worked.

I think it just makes the service visible to devices from outside the network which helps them form a more direct connection. (That's just an educated guess though)
