As far as I know, this only matters if you’re hosting a VPN server or torrenting, and you can just buy a static IP from Nord for cheap, like all their services. Personally, I don’t torrent on VPN because I just ignore all the DMCAs I get and have never had a problem, probably because I’m not a notorious uploader. And it wouldn’t affect your ability to download torrents if you don’t have port forwarding on VPN, just your ability to upload.
For the vast majority of VPN users just looking for anonymity while they surf/download, port forwarding it not necessary.
And, personally, if I did need it, I’d find a VPN service that provides it without its CEO prostrating themselves to a rapist.
Been super happy with NordVPN for years.
People will complain about them advertising on YouTube. Why would I care about that? Companies advertise.
People will complain about them not having port forwarding. This doesn’t matter for the majority of VPN users. If it does, use a different one.
