Mullvad is removing port forwarding (https://mullvad.net/fr/blog/2023/5/29/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-ports/). Is there a credible alternative ?

I'm testing now AirVPN and will decide after trying both parallel.

Any verdict? Now that Mullvad port forwarding is gone, I am also looking for alternatives. Thanks !

As my first trys did not seed a lot I could not see any difference. Speeds were about the same.

Would you mind reporting back your findings here? :)

Hi, so far everything works fine! Max out my connection which is not very fast.

What I can already say is that the Eddy app for android worked pretty bad on my Pixel 6. But with the Wireguard app everything is smooth. For my Fedora Installation I can say it works fine as long as I disable DHCP in the LAN config. There are better solutions but I did not dare to change anything deeper in the system so far. Even more as I mostly use my VPN over my router, and that way I have no DNS/IP leakage.

App wise Mullvad was much better.
