mullvad and proton stand as vpn. However, mullvad does not allow torrenting because there is no port forwarding. Mullvad should not be on the list

Without port forwarding you can only connect to those who do have it set up. Doing so yourself allows you to be a better citizen of the internet and share with people who don't know what it is.

(Caveat: I am one of those people who don't understand it and am just parroting what was explained to me when I asked about this)

So it's more a seeding issue rather than a leeching issue in this case I assume.

well, you can't leech from people with closed ports so.. it's still worse. better to get something that can actually forward ports.

So Proton is okay then, or do you have a better suggestion? I'm trying to look through the megathread for info.

proton would be fine. i've heard great stuff about airvpn too. haven't used any though, i mostly don't use a vpn
