I use ProtonVPN and am happy but not sure if they allow port forwarding.
Here is a list of VPN services that accept crypto payments (a good proxy for being privacy friendly) https://kycnot.me/services#VPN
I think you can even port forward with the free plan of ProtonVPN.
You can’t. Proton only supports torrenting on specific servers that aren’t included in the free plan
cryptostorm, perfect-privacy, njalla, airvpn, protonvpn, windscribe. there’s alot.
perfect-privacy requires PF to be set every 7 days. otherwise it’s good.
Jesus what a pain in the ass. I get that there are limited ports but that would drive me up the wall pretty quickly.
You have the option to auto-renew them. No downsides here imo.
The explanation of auto-renew says: “On expiration, new port forwardings will be created. The source port will be chosen randomly.”. How will that work with bt client?
Not too sure. Right now I have a 1-to-1 forwarding which will expire later tonight and I have the auto-renew on. I will let you know if the port switches up or not.
Edit: I would not recommend Perfect-Privacy, their autorenew does not work.
Noob here. What’s wrong with not having portforwarding?
Seeding/downloading torrents with private trackers requires portforwarding to be effective, also accessing a home network from the internet (I’m still researching that usecase, if someone has any useful tutorials I’ll take it.)
So does not having port forwarding mean it’s not safe to use it for torrenting? As long as my ISP doesn’t know I’m illegally torrenting stuff, I’m not really concerned personally
