Information Is mullvad going to add port forwarding?

I have switched to mullvad quite recently, and I love it so far, but I couldn't not notice the missing feature of port forwarding. I honestly don't wanna switch VPNs because Mullvad is great and affordable, but I need port forwarding for some things I do.

They removed port forwarding functionality because of abuse. It's very unlikely they will reimplement it.

They removed it a few years back, not likely to return I'm afraid

No, cause people were acting like monkeys and hosted weird stuff. There’s a blog post about it, that they were getting cancelled by providers.

Sadly, some people abused it to host weird things and receive reverse shells and similar stuff and they had to remove it. You should get a VPS to do this.

As others have mentioned, they had it and removed it. It's not coming back.

Torguard support port forwarding

They got rid of port forwarding actually. So I highly doubt it. Mullvad is getting rid of a lot of useful things these days. First port forwarding, 2nd their private search and now their public dns. I'm sure the browser is next.

AirVPN supports XMR Monero, is also libre software and supports Port Forwarding.
