Hello, fellow linux ISO enjoyers,
as you may know, Mullvad VPN is disabling port forwarding 1st of July, which is a pity if you are serious about building that ratio.
Are there any other fast torrent-friendly vpn’s with the ability to port forward and ideally ipv6? I have quite a number of torrents in my seedbox and was pretty happy with Mullvad since I was consistently able to squeeze around 800Mbps symmetrical from it, however it’s time to move on.
Short rationale:
• You already have a seedbox, why bother with VPN?
Dealing with DMCA is pain and any hosting, which is sending complaints to /dev/null, has insane hardware prices for more demanding users. My seedbox is serving as a media archive since I seed everything I have indefinitely.
• You won’t get complaints if you’re using private trackers
Entry-level trackers are not bulletproof, I’m still using TL a lot and really, really don’t want to move 10’s of TB’s of shit if asked.
Long story short: VPN works. The question is - which one?
Wow wtf I didn’t know this.
Damn my ISP is being shit about allowing router access and port forwarding, so I was using their port forwarding as a way to get around that.

They already disabled the possibility to add new port forwards and will remove any existing ones completely on 1st of July.
Damn, I’ll try to contact my ISP tomorrow and try to sort out the static IP and port forwarding - literally I just use it for my hosting video games with my family and stuff.
