I use it for downloading torrents without leaking my IP. If you can’t portforward you are limited to downloading torrents. You won’t be able to upload, or at the very least your upload speeds will be very slow. If your primary use case is torrents portforwarding allows you to open a port and be able to upload.

Mkengine@feddit.de 1 year agoI never really used a VPN, what is your usual use case and what exactly would I need port forwarding for?

Usual use case is just privacy or sometimes getting around region-locked content. I personally have very sadly switched away from Mullvad as well due to the lack of port-forwarding. My ISP does not allow it and I use it to play certain games with friends (I do not want to pay to host a server to do something once a week).
