The ad and the linked terms don’t say anything about the deal being available only for new customers and accounts. It’s the lack of transparency that really gets me.

          I have a paid Proton account and yet I still pay for AirVPN for years because of 1) how good their service is for torrenting 2) how cheap it is at black friday every year.

          I settled on AzireVPN for port forwarding. Just as capable and works basically fine. Plus they don’t advertise prices only available to new customers. Only limitation is no convenient client, but at least I know what the fek connection my stuff is using, and it’s easily automated.

          I’m sure many Mullvad servers are similar, but figured anything with working port forward could be worth a mention.

      Been beat up on here, twice, for suggesting people just roll their own. Took me a couple of hours of carefully following directions, never touched it again, been 6 years. LOL, don’t think I can even log into it anymore, key’s lost.
