Which provider? How do you forward ports?

Port forwarding is really easy with PIA's client. I had to switch to them because Mullvad doesn't offer port forwarding anymore unfortunately.

Damn! I was thinking about switching to Mullvad from PIA, but now I guess I won't.

Yeah, PIA is great. You can even use regular wireguard with it if you don't want to use their client. Been a happy use for many years

Being able to use wg-quick to create a tunnel is also something mullvad supports, just fyi

I'm a happy PIA user for many years, but I probably won't really trust any US-based VPN with what the Republicans are going to be doing in the next couple of years. They will absolutely destroy all privacy for the "save the children" boogeyman. A VPN not based in the US is the only workaround I can see, and that's if we're even allowed to use them.

Reminder: PIA is owned (was bought in 2019) by a company with ties to Israeli intelligence, and which started out producing advertising malware.

Run docker and the haugene-transmission image if you don't want your wife complaining and asking why Facebook thinks she's visiting Romania.
