Mullvad isn't good for torrenting anymore since they don't have port forwarding but that probably doesn't apply if you're using Usenet, streaming, or some other form.
...I never used port forwarding with them and it just kinda works?
I pirate almost exclusively over Qbittorrent.
there's just gotta be a leak somewhere, that ain't normal...
If Mullvad is off, and I download a Pixar film, I will get a letter. I have.
If it isn't, I won't. I don't.
shrug port forward or no port forward, the data still flows and my ISP can't see it.
Without it, you won't be able to connect to other peers unless they have port forwarding active. If enough people torrent without port forwarding, the whole system breaks down.
My props to the boys in Romania, then.
Mine works just fine with torrenting...
It does work without port forwarding but only because the person on the other end has port forwarding active. You can't connect to anyone that doesn't have it set up.
