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!
Airvpn has been flawless for me even if they aren’t the fastest. Wireguard has been very stable with them, and they are very configurable on their web interface. Plus the staff is very very helpful if you need it. My Seedboxes are on 24/7 and I am not racing with them, everything is long term. I can still hit 50mbps upload but it is rare.
Edit: I use to espouse PIA but they mad a bunch of changes and I couldn’t script requesting a port any more. With airvpn you choose what ports you want on the website, assign them to a profile, and when you connect with that profile the port is automatically forwarded to your IP… no need to request a port and your selectes ports never change which makes configuring your app a lot simpler.
AirVPN, for over a decade and they’ve kept my ports the whole time
I’ve had a great experience with ovpn after Mullvad shut down port forwarding. You get 7 ports per account and the server I use is very fast. You can also purchase a public IPv4 with all ports open if you like.
Before ovpn I tried AirVPN. It’s a great service, but their servers are too busy/slow if you need a lot of bandwidth.
The really cool thing about airvpn imo is that it has dynamic dns built in, so you can have a relatively stable url to connect to any service you’re hosting, like jellyfin or qbittorrent webui to connect to from outside your lan.
