I'm more concerned with the fact that they're removing features without reducing price or making up for it elsewhere. I have no desire to support that business when there are perfectly fine alternatives.
Would you mind making some examples please?
I use PIA (probably the cheapest out there). If you just care about torrenting, they’re quite good. I can saturate my Gbit connection and they offer PF (only for p2p applications though)
I tried getting port forwarding to work with PIA, but it seems to be unavailable within the US. Has that been the case for you as well? Not sure if it’d be worth using an international server with 1/10 the speed in order to enable port forwarding, but I would love to be able to be connectable.
How do you use it? Why do you say it is not available? I am in Europe but I’ve never seen anybody report what you’re saying.
Like I said, it is limited to p2p applications. You cannot host a web server or something similar.
Try using this instead of the app
https://github.com/thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia
It’s a lot more technical but it’s worth trying.
I’m actually using that exact same docker image :) port forwarding still doesn’t work within the US though. I love the speeds I get from Wireguard compared to OpenVPN though.
