I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.

Mullvad removed port forwarding so it's not the way to go for torrenting anymore.

Works fine enoughfor me.

What am I missing? Got a better suggestion?

Without port forwarding you're limited on connections and can only connect to those who do have it enabled.

When they dropped support, I switched to AirVPN and have been satisfied. Prices are about the same I believe. Mullvad was great and even refunded me my remaining time after the switch. I'd totally use them again if I didn't need port forwarding or if they brought the feature back.
