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

queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months agoWonderful 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?

Hosting services behind a VPN I suppose

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

Why not a seedbox?

My internet isnt fast enough, My average download speed for the entire place is maybe 18 MB/s, and 0.5 MB/s upload.
Torrenting helps solve the problem as I can just tell it to download in chunks and then turn it off when I need more leg room on my copper wire internet from 2003 that AT&T doesn’t change.
I have some of the slowest speeds where 4G Data is a massive upgrade, so when I need to offload some jpgs to discord or something, its faster if I just send them to my phone and upload that way.
