I already had a cyberghost sub, but decided to try to switch to something better for seeding.

I have tested ProtonVPN and PIA, but ended up refunding PIA as the port forwarding didn’t work once. ProtonVPN has worked maybe 5% of the time, and will likely be refunded as well.

Is there such a thing as a VPN that can consistently forward ports? I’m considering trying AirVPN next, but am hoping someone could confirm whether it works or not first. I’m also open to any other recommendations.

Thank you!

    IveI’ve recently moved to AirVPN and can confirm that port forwarding works nicely. Their UX is terrible, though, but the service so far seems good.

      Exactly the same here. I needed some help in setting up gluetun and support was sweet and fast

      I ended up giving AirVPN a shot - seems like the best option I think. Easy to get openvpn or wireguard set up, and it works great with qbit. Having 5 ports is awesome, have 2 on each of my PCs and one on my phone.

      My only issue is I can’t seem to get the port forwarding working with Nicotine+, for some reason it just won’t open the port like qbittorrent does. Downloading works fine, I just doubt anyone can see what I’m sharing
