No port forwarding, though. Some old guides still list them as having that capability, so I try to mention it frequently.

I've never used that feature in any of my VPN clients before. What's the actual usecase for it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Possibly if one might want to be able to access a service behind the VPN without having a load balancer / reverse proxy?

That's a turn off for some and I get why they did it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't see why having options are turn-offs except maybe for those who provide said options.

I don't understand. I mean I see why not having port forwarding would turn someone off from going with Mullvad, but I understand Mullvad's rationale for doing so.

I understand their decision to stop offering it, too, especially if I were in their position as a service provider. I still like the feature as a consumer.
