Mullvad is ditching OpenVPN. I don't use Wireguard since it breaks my firewall rules. AirVPN is decent enough. I have used them for port forwarding before.
How so?
I use Comodo Firewall (on windows machines) to give access or deny access to various apps. I have a VPN only web browser and a web browser that only works when the VPN is off. Wireguard is not supported whereas OpenVPN is.
Oh. Windows.
Have you tried Simplewall? Similar situation, but I'm a Mullvad user, and I haven't had any issues
OpenVPN is less secure than Wireguard though
