Mullvad: Removing the Support for Forwarded Ports

It would be better to look into a dedicated seedbox for torrents.

The companies offering those have experience dealing with copyright cartels.

I wouldn't even go all the way to a dedicated seedbox. I'm using a shared one, gets the job done and only costs $12 a month.

Still more expensive than the 5 euro/month I was spending for Mullvad

Mullvad isn't stopping port forwarding because of copyright issues. It's because you can use their IPs to host highly illegal websites and they can't connect your account to the content and suspend it.

can you elaborate? how could someone outside Mullvad claim that Mullvad is passing illegal traffic, but Mullvad itself can’t figure out who in their network is passing that traffic?

Mullvad has known exit IP addresses. Mullvad doesn't have shit for logging so they cannot link clients to traffic.
