Of only they'd kept port forwarding.

    Didn't really have a choice:

    ...Regrettably individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services from ports that are forwarded from our VPN servers. This has led to law enforcement contacting us, our IPs getting blacklisted, and hosting providers cancelling us.

    Big issue there is hosting providers cancelling them. Can't operate a business without that.

    Short of getting their own servers of course. This update seems to be a step forward in that direction

    Agreed. Seems like they were in a super tough spot with that and kind of had to drop it. All the sudden they seem to be doing some new cool stuff to try to keep their edge which I really appreciate / respect. That being said, I've dumped them and switched to a service that still port forwards as it gives me better torrenting throughput. Sorry Mullvad.
