Are there any VPNs that didn't? I couldn't really find any, and tbh it's not a massive issue for torrenting. I still upload a fair bit, but obviously not as much as I would be if I had ports open.

Private Internet Access and Njalla both allow port forwarding.

Mullvad is heavily shilled, and for some reason no online discussion ever ends on a critical note. Be wary and don't assume the group is always correct.

You say that Mullvad is heavily shilled, and I'd like to learn more about it. Would you mind showing a concrete example, so I can better inform myself?

AirVPN allow port forwarding.

I use Mullvad for my day to day devices like my phone and laptop, and AirVPN in my homelab for things like torrenting.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I'll try this out with my current torrenting setup and see if it is better

Maybe not massive issue for individuals yet, but I guarantee anti piracy orgs love everyone switching to a VPN that inherently weakens the torrent ecosphere.
