Can anyone recommend a VPN that has working port forwarding? (lemmy.ml)

I already had a cyberghost sub, but decided to try to switch to something better for seeding.

I have tested ProtonVPN and PIA, but ended up refunding PIA as the port forwarding didn't work once. ProtonVPN has worked maybe 5% of the time, and will likely be refunded as well.

Is there such a thing as a VPN that can consistently forward ports? I'm considering trying AirVPN next, but am hoping someone could confirm whether it works or not first. I'm also open to any other recommendations.

Thank you!

What's your use case? Maybe you would be better off with Tailscale or something like that

I will be using qBittorrent and Nicotine+ i think.

What does Tailscale do? Seems like just another VPN at first glance

It creates a flat network between all of your devices anywhere, so if you have a home server that you want to connect to from elsewhere you can do that without port forwards.
