as the title says airvpn vs mullvad who should i go with?
It’s all about port forwarding. AirVPN has it. Mullvad no.
Torrenting without port forwarding means you’ll be limited to only connecting to peers/seeders who have an open port.
How much this impacts your ability to get the content and how quickly you get it, will depend on the torrent.
Your VPN provider could have the most lightning fast servers in terms of data throughput speeds, but without port forwarding you could still find that you are waiting a very long time for your content to download because you don’t have an open port.
Air VPN servers in my experience have been plenty fast, and with the availability of port forwarding I have been quite satisfied with their service. I would not switch to another VPN provider that lacked port forwarding.
I’m happy with air. Easy folks to deal with, reliable and fast. Port forward works a treat.
comes up to what you want.
Air vpn with Limited streaming , bit dated but working software , some bad rumours but no major issue the last 10 or 20 years.
Mullvad being fully privacy focussed no streaming also changes ips rarely so you kinda see more “blocked” messages.
Air has port forwarding, Mullvad doesn’t.
To me AirVPN hasn’t been as fast as Mullvad but they stopped their port forwarding, essentially a dealbreaker I’m afraid. And though I’ve tried faster vpns with port forwarding they’ve all had some disadvantage in favour of AirVPN. Be it shady owners, more expensive, slower connections or no linux/ wireguard support.
Not only does Air allow 15 or 20 static ports, whatever the number is… they also have dynamic dns for no extra cost
Im switching from Mullvad to AirVpn,i want the abilityto port forward.
I’ve seen people talk about using port forwarding for torrents. How does it work exactly? Any chance you could ELI5 or link me to an explanation?
It "might " work with Mullvad yes like any other vpn but Mullvad and as another example air vpn with Netflix won’t care at all if it stops Working or there’s issues cause they don’t support streaming .
