I used to have Mullvad but it recently disabled portforwarding-support. Now I ditched it in favor of Proton since I already had a Proton subscription running. I am still looking out for a VPN that supports portforwarding though, in a way that a non-tech-savvy person like myself can run it on Linux. No idea where and how to do that now.

Can you tell me why someone would need port forwarding with a VPN? Genuinely don’t know.

Running some sort of server, I’d assume.

Heard that AirVPN has better port forwarding support which could be an option.
