Which affects torrentors how?
I don't torrent, as a rule,, so I can't say I'd notice any speed reduction. I had, however, noticed that no matter how long I kept seeding, I'd gotten few - or maybe no - connections. I didn't know if this were because nobody else was leeching the thing at the time, or something else like this.
I'm very reluctant to give up Mullvad. So far, in all ways I care about they've demonstrated justification for brand loyalty. Plus, I've been with them for years and already have everything set up and configured across multiple deviiiiceeeessss.
As I said, torrenting isn't a critical activity for me, so I'll hang tight. I am curious to know if Mullvad has given a justification for stopping support for port forwarding. They used to, right? So it was work for them to stop.
Here is their blog post about it: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/5/29/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-ports/
Thank you for the link! Very informative.
You'll get more connections if people can get to you; otherwise, you're only connecting to people who are port forwarding themselves. If you're port forwarding, you can connect to everyone.
