Comment on Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA)
sramder@lemmy.world 1 month agoHum… this was one of the original reasons I signed up with them. I totally missed them dropping support. I’m not mad about it because I don’t torrent much anymore, but it’s still a pretty lame excuse.
I want all my services supporting maximum fuckery at all times as a matter of general principle.
Any alternatives that you know of?
I personally like AirVPN. Pretty good speeds depending on the server. Has port forwarding. You can port forward and have up to 5 devices connected simultaneously. Make sure you’re using the Wireguard protocol.
Only issue is that Eddie (their GUI) kinda sucks. Works okay on Linux, and probably same on Windows. The Android one just really sucks.
I personally just download the wireguard configs to use.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll check them out.
ProtonVPN has it, and Wireguard support.
Thank you. It’s good to know I have a few options.

Torrenting works fine with Mullvad in my personal experience, and will pretty much up to my current ISP speed limits (which is 200Mbps download).
Can’t really guarantee you that it will be as good if you’re hosting your own seedbox over their VPN (then again if you’re doing that you should probably pay for a proper seedbox hosted elsewhere) but if you’ve downloade something and the just leave it seeding, it seems fine.

I can’t honestly say I’ve ever had much trouble with it either. No trouble receiving files at least… there wasn’t much outbound traffic, but that could just have been a lack of interest :-)
I’m happy with Mulvad’s service and now that the initial shock and indignation is wearing off I’ll probably stick with them.
Besides I read about their new traffic obfuscation and I’ve got to give that a try. We need proactive innovation like that, now more than ever.
