    Soon this will be widespread. Tied to piracy and malware and just banned. Do not uee commercial vpns.

    I think there’s an external specific reason for both Mullad and IVPN to disable port forwarding

    A DC requires it

    A big player will block their IPs

    Idk

    Something it is

    I had this thought before, when Mullvad did it

    Now, it’s more probable

  • will it then also be cheaper?

    Of course there are. A very small number of datacenters are willing to risk the reputation of their IP ranges to allow people to host VPNs, especially Mullvad, one of the most used VPNs by shady people. But out of that small group, an even smaller group is willing to allow those VPN users to host basically anything on their IPs.

    That reason is too broad

    Not like every network they used required both VPNs to do this at once

    They could always have disabled the feature on certain servers

    Mullvad use MANY providers
