I love Mullvad. You don't see them in any ads (No "this video is brought to you by Mullvad VPN") and you can pay them any way you'd like... Including cash!
No port forwarding, though. Some old guides still list them as having that capability, so I try to mention it frequently.
I've never used that feature in any of my VPN clients before. What's the actual usecase for it?
Possibly if one might want to be able to access a service behind the VPN without having a load balancer / reverse proxy?
That's a turn off for some and I get why they did it
I don't see why having options are turn-offs except maybe for those who provide said options.
I don't understand. I mean I see why not having port forwarding would turn someone off from going with Mullvad, but I understand Mullvad's rationale for doing so.
I understand their decision to stop offering it, too, especially if I were in their position as a service provider. I still like the feature as a consumer.
