Regarding mullvad (lemm.ee)

Hello all,

I am running fedora with mullvad (wireguard) straight from the network settings with a configuration file.

According to https://mullvad.net/en/check everything is fine but I want to know if I am set for torrenting now that they have removed port forwarding and I cannot bind qbittorrent to the vpn.

Should I adjust anything or am I set? What was the benefit of port forwarding?

Private Internet Access still has it

Edit: People got issues with PIA? I've been using it for years and it works brilliantly while still being one of the cheapest on the market.

They're owned by a sketchy company. Worth looking into, but the general advice is to stay far and wide away from Kape Technologies.

I remember the purchase a few years back but PIA was still proven to not keep logs and be just as secure, no?

Might be the case, and most probably true. But not a risk I'm taking, also not giving that company my money.

I use PIA, and have for years as well. My only complaint is they semi-promised they'd have a WireGuard config file available years ago, and we're still waiting.

But as long as you can run their client, you can utilize WG, and it's still the cheapest option that offers no logs, split tunneling, port forwarding.
