Hello all!

I have been out of the piracy game since a little before mullvad lost port-forwarding; I know these things are ever changing, and to my understanding ivpn is a good bet at this moment in time.

I was wondering what everyone else has been using. As well as if anyone has tried the gui client for ivpn either built from source or the AUR build(I do use arch btw).

I am open to any vpn client that has a good reputation in the community, and build-able from a repository; A gui is preferred but not necessary, and absolutely NO account creation (Except for generic account numbers of course).

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

The same 3 VPNs get recommended each time this question is asked:

  • Mullvad
  • Proton
  • IVPN

Sorry to spam the instance with a FAQ. I may of been misinformed, I was under the impression it was difficult to seed easily with Mullvad now. Also I was curious if anyone had recommendations with good Linux clients, not just the service itself; It seems IVPN or Mullvad will be the best all around option for me, if I do go the VPN route.

No more port forwarding though

Only Proton should be recommended for torrenting since it has port-forwarding. I don’t know why people love suggesting these even without port-forwarding.

Because most people aren’t tech savvy enough or have the need for port forwarding.

What is the advantage of port-forwarding? I use Mullvad and don’t know if I’m missing some critical feature

Port-forwarding isn’t essential for torrenting. It really depends on the user as to whether that’s an important feature.

So two that don’t offer port forwarding and one that only does on Windows? Wow what a great recommendation…
