Recently mullvad stopped the port forwarding, are there some other trustworthy VPN to do Torrenting out there or others solutions to do torrenting with Mullvad?

    ProtonVPN. It’s an organization built around principles of privacy, so I use them a lot and support them as much as I can. I have their VPN on a docker container with gluetun.

      I’m a proton unlimited subscriber and I love it. Simplelogin, e2ee emails, vpn, all amazing. Their tech support team is awesome and they have always been fast and helpful when assisting me with my computers.

        E2ee emails is only between proton and proton btw, proton to gmail (or anyone else) is not emcrypted by default, you’d need to pgp it yourself for that.

        I know that may sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people don’t know that so I just wanted to drop a heads up just in case anyone reading was unaware.

        I like proton mail and use it for my daily, but I’ve heard rumors it’s a fed honeypot. Seems like a good choice to escape corporate big data collection, but probably want to avoid it for anything of questionable legality.

          Yea great to get away from those damn adverts. I often wonder with enough pressure would they comply with a government or as you said are they a honey pot themselves. In europe Encrochat was a good example of it happening.

      +1 for Proton. I also have their mail for all my domains. Works wonders and feels trustworthy, for whatever that’s worth.

      Why does it need to be in a container? Also the Linux GUI client has no port forwarding options

        It doesn’t need to be in a container, but it works well in one for my use case. I use it in a headless server running OpenMediaVault with qBittorrent and a bunch of arr apps. The apps are all in containers sharing a network with port forwarding set up, so that none of them leak any DNS information.

        Running it with Gluetun makes me think they are just using that container to attach other containers to a VPN, so only the services that need to be behind a VPN.

        I use a similar setup on my server, where all of my media is virtualized and containerized.
