      Yeah I had to move to another provider over this. It’s sad, I like their policies and services, but it’s a deal breaker.

          I’ve used it to open a local port on my laptop publicly without needing to make any changes to the local network I was on. It can be useful for opening your laptop’s ssh port or to host an http server to send someone a big file you don’t want to pay to upload somewhere.

          One other common use is 🏴‍☠️ which I suspect is why they disabled the service :/

      Getting in trouble? It’s more like:

      • Server providers threatening to terminate business with Mullvad because some of its users used port forwarding to host contents that meant legal trouble.
      • Mullvad chose to terminate support for port forwarding in a transparent way and gave clear dates to prepare. This was done instead of selling off their users or collaborating with whatever legal threats they were facing.

      I don’t like it, but at least I understand their business decision. Even if I took my business elsewhere, they have a solid point on transparency.
