From Mullvad
Once again mullvad proving they are the only good VPN
If they provided port forwarding I would also use them…
This is to be honest a huge barrier for me.
What’s the benefit of port forwarding when using a VPN?
When you torrent you can only connect to peers that have open ports, if your ports are closed. Which means it makes it a lot harder to upload if you rely on private trackers and maintaining a good ratio. One can still download and upload, but for especially older torrents it has a good chance to affect your speeds and ability to download.
This is accurate when using the BT protocol. However if you have uTP (Micro Transport Protocol) enabled, it has “support for NAT traversal using UDP hole punching between two port-restricted peers where a third unrestricted peer acts as a STUN server.”
Agreed!
They have a great “Why privacy matters” guide I keep sending to people;
OVPN.com ain’t bad either.
It will all end with us back on dialup speeds once the counter-DAITA throughput machine learning de-obfuscation analysis of defense against AI guided traffic analysis of proxy anomised packets starts. I think I might just read a book.
Seems like it will cost Mullvad more for bandwidth. Great feature overall, very similar to Monero’s Dandelion++
If Mullvad only allowed port forwarding…
They did at one point, but they removed it due to constant abuse.
Threat actors ruin shit for freedom enjoyers again
It’s nice, but it brought my speeds to a crawl.
If I understand it correctly, it’s an app feature (or is it server side?). I’m interested since I use mullvad on router.
DAAIGTA
Now I’m curious if the vpn I use will consider a similar approach going forward (PIA).
