Hello, fellow linux ISO enjoyers,

as you may know, Mullvad VPN is disabling port forwarding 1st of July, which is a pity if you are serious about building that ratio.

Are there any other fast torrent-friendly vpn's with the ability to port forward and ideally ipv6? I have quite a number of torrents in my seedbox and was pretty happy with Mullvad since I was consistently able to squeeze around 800Mbps symmetrical from it, however it's time to move on.

Short rationale:
• You already have a seedbox, why bother with VPN?
Dealing with DMCA is pain and any hosting, which is sending complaints to /dev/null, has insane hardware prices for more demanding users. My seedbox is serving as a media archive since I seed everything I have indefinitely.

• You won't get complaints if you're using private trackers
Entry-level trackers are not bulletproof, I'm still using TL a lot and really, really don't want to move 10's of TB's of shit if asked.

Long story short: VPN works. The question is - which one?

They are claiming ProtonVPN port forwarding only works with Windows, however this is only relevant if you are using protonvpn app.

You can still generate wireguard config with nat-pmp support.
