Ok guys, do I drop Proton for Mullvad, or do I keep it for port forwarding? My contract is ending soon. I’m starting to pirate more as I have a homelab running Arr services now, and I use port forwarding on my Qbittorrent client with Gluetun. I dislike Proton for liking Trump, but I need port forwarding. Or try AirVPN?

The original post for proton wasn’t directly supporting trump but that argument has been beat to death. I’ve been running the arrs for years without vpn. Qbittorrent container, nzbget, etc

If you need port forwarding for qBittorrent + Arr + Gluetun, Mullvad isn’t an option anymore. They removed port forwarding in 2023. That basically leaves Proton or AirVPN. Proton still supports port forwarding on P2P servers, while AirVPN is the more “power-user” option with persistent forwarded ports. So if port forwarding matters for your setup, dropping Proton for Mullvad would actually break the functionality you’re using.
