    Wonderful software, easy payment, great rates, but lack of port forwarding is a major fallback. I understand it was due to a very minor chunk of bad actors, but that minor chunk was hosting CSAM and other horrible internet-accessible things, and no way to track what traffic is where, means they had to remove the feature for the 98% of good faith users.

    But I almost refuse to use AirVPN’s software. It’s so… weird. I’m thankful they support wireguard with zero issues, so I can just use the default network manager and apps for Linux/Android, but that client interface is so backwards compared to Mullvad and iVPN.

      Other than torrenting what else do you use port-forwarding for?

        That’s it mainly. Port forwarding improves my torrenting enough to where I get better reliability.

      Airvpn was so slow for me. Did anyone else had that problem? Couldn’t get 1Gbit down. With Mullvad it was no problem.

  This is the reason why I stuck with PIA. Not great,but at least it does it.
