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?
It’s crucial when the only seeder won’t open their port.
My opinion: I wish qbittorrent 4.6 would release sooner, it comes with I2P support, which I’ve seen discussed on lemmy a few times.
It’s important for rare/poorly seeded torrents, but not at all important if it’s a new release movie or something like that which will be well seeded.
