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?

Let me know if you want a year subscription to Speedify. It came bundled in a Humble Bundle ages ago and I have never used it since I have a lifetime subscription to Windscribe.
