I’m curious why people would downvote a request for port forwarding?

They can’t. People really abused the option. If you read their posts, they sound like they endured it for a really long time, and were forced to disable it.
That’s why we can’t have nice things :/

I actively did my best to take any condescendence out of this comment.
I don’t have personal experience with Mullvad except for Mozilla VPN (which I believe is just re-skinned Mullvad, if I’m not mistaken), so I just told them what I knew about it. How is that berating them?

I second the others. It is the #1 privacy VPN. It is also fairly priced, imo. Be careful and consider your threat model. VPN is not fool proof.

It’s a good one. You can stuff cash in an envelope to pay for it if you want.

You haven’t heard of it? It’s arguably the best.

I’ve used them for about a year, so far no complaints. High speed, high privacy, only a couple things have required me to turn off my vpn to access them.
Needing to turn off Mulvad for Netflix and other services was the deal breaker for me. Otherwise loved it.

The absolute best. Transparent business model, transparent team and good performance. I highly recommend it.

I had never heard of it either. I had PIA when I was on Windows, still haven’t gotten it setup on Linux though.

Been using it exclusively for about a year. Very satisfied with the performance. It is a very no-nonsense service. They provide a VPN, anonymous payment options, and a flat rate regardless how much you buy at a time or when you buy (which is personally a big plus for me). They don’t bug you to renew, and they don’t offer any sort of auto-renewal. The only downside I could see is that if you are looking for a VPN provider that offers a large suite of privacy-adjacent tools labeled as a VPN app, you would be disappointed.

I have been using Blokada 6 which is a subscription based VPN service. There is a decentralized service called Matrix that lets you run the Fediverse version of Discord called Element.
Element is where I heard of Mullvad and learned more about VPNs and how they work or how most of them operate.
Here is what you need to know if you want a standard VPN that just blocks ads and does the basics there are plenty out there, Blokada 6 being one of the best.
If you are truly concerned and care about your data being encrypted from point to point then there are very few of those. The benefit to Mullvad is it does just this and is tested by it’s users and they are based in Sweden. There is a classification of people o like to call paranoid but those same people genuinely love Mullvad, sooooo. I gave it a shot.
The company doesn’t believe in a subscription model. You pay as you want and go and can even pay for it by mail. Here is what I like. Mullvad offers a browser based on Tor that Tor trusts.
Mullvad will protect you using Open VPN or WireGaurd if you like data encryption on your network work. Not only that it will actively monitor and tell you if you have a DNS leak which is when your DNS isn’t being protected properly and can potentially be seen by your network providers and others. Not only this, it works, it isn’t slow, and it’s encrypted all the way around.
I will be switching to Mullvad permanently once my next Blokada payment comes out.

It is Lemmy and users on here tend to think they know more because they don’t use something that someone else does.

Why did they abuse?
Hosting Illegal content
Great boast for privacy. Removes a lot of attack surface that law could exploit. And potentially reduces running costs, too.
Glad to hear you’re building the kernel too.
Anyone got any real hands on with this vpn provider? Its not one I’ve ever heard of, but sounds good from a quick look on their site.
I use them. I've found the speeds to be quite acceptable, plenty fast enough to play video games and download movies.
It’s one of the most lauded privacy-focused VPNs around.
Well lets definitely berate them for not knowing, that’s sure to be fucking helpful

And I carefully worded my sentence not to convey that sentiment while still stating the fact.
