Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.

Personally I don't trust Proton. I know I’m paranoid, but can’t be too sure about anything these days. To my knowledge MV and IVPN are the only ones with a nice privacy reputation. Shame they are cutting port forwarding

I think it's worth reading Proton's response on this and also worth noting Proton recently won Swiss court ruling (as in they paid for the lawyers and brought the case up et al.) that should help make it so proton isn't legally obligated by the Swiss government to do such things again.

You can also avoid what happened here by using the TOR endpoint Proton provides to login to their services.
