I was using Proton and SimpleLogin. Didn’t have a subscription, but was planning on it when I could afford it. Thank fuck I saw this shit and moved away before giving them a cent of my money.
Whatever you think you need port forwarding for can probably be better accomplished using something like tailscale or wireguard. The reason most vpns dont support forwarding and some used to but dropped it is because its just not worth the hassle andc creates an additional way for your IP to be leaked.
Wireguard is a VPN protocol. I need port forwarding for efficient torrenting. Proton offers both OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols. Tailscale is not so good for torrents, I think.
Don’t use Proton.
Seconded. Proton’s CEO is a Trump-supporter, and he doesn’t even try hiding it.
I’ve canceled my Proton subscription and I’m going to move to another service when it expires. Proton is dead.

Damn daniel
Thank you for telling me this! I didn’t know about that.
If I were you I would read his actual words and decide for yourself, don’t trust people online.
I have
Recommend me a good VPN service with port forwarding then.
Airvpn. But you probably dont actually need it like you think you do.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into it. But what do you mean I don’t need it like I think I do?

Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won’t make your downloads any faster.
That’s not what I’ve read on the subject.
You can just try it for yourself, use a VPN but dont do port forwarding and grab your favorite Linux iso, see if you notice a difference.
Their forwarding might make your downloads faster.
If you don’t have port forwarding, you can only connect to peers that do.
If you have port forwarding, there’s more potential peers to connect to. So yes it can make downloads faster.
That just isn’t true anymore, you can test for yourself.
