Proton with paid plans supports it or Windscribe.

Noob here. What's wrong with not having portforwarding?
See the other post https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/312389
Seeding/downloading torrents with private trackers requires portforwarding to be effective, also accessing a home network from the internet (I'm still researching that usecase, if someone has any useful tutorials I'll take it.)
So does not having port forwarding mean it’s not safe to use it for torrenting? As long as my ISP doesn’t know I’m illegally torrenting stuff, I’m not really concerned personally
It is as safe, it just adds extra (needed) functionality. See this post that was shared by Brickfrog right above https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/441108

I really like Windscribe
@AgedCheddar is Windscribe trustworthy?
They meet the criteria for Privacy Guides, at the very least: https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/1312
I think they are, at very least on par with Mullvad. Much better than the likes of Nord, PIA, Express, and the likes
I had no idea but it looks like I’m going to have to reconfigure my stack again 😒
Just switched to AirVPN. All works well.
I think you can even port forward with the free plan of ProtonVPN.
cryptostorm, perfect-privacy, njalla, airvpn, protonvpn, windscribe. there's alot.
perfect-privacy requires PF to be set every 7 days. otherwise it’s good.
Jesus what a pain in the ass. I get that there are limited ports but that would drive me up the wall pretty quickly.
You have the option to auto-renew them. No downsides here imo.
The explanation of auto-renew says: "On expiration, new port forwardings will be created. The source port will be chosen randomly.". How will that work with bt client?
How do proxies work with port forwarding? Are proxies an option? No matter what I will use a VPN at all times but by using a proxy in your bittorrent client, could you get "port forwarding" functionality?
Been using windscribe custom plan (2$USD/m) for years. Great apps (all are foss i think), great support (linux/android/windows/iot). I believe they have good privacy practices.
Here is a list of VPN services that accept crypto payments (a good proxy for being privacy friendly) https://kycnot.me/services#VPN
