The aftermath of Mullvad's blog post, stating their decision to no longer support port-forwarding, has caused significant chaos in the community. While I understand the concept of port-forwarding in routers, I am unfamiliar with its implementation in VPNs. I am curious to know why customers are expressing frustration with this recent announcement and whether it has any implications for customer privacy. Additionally, I would like to explore how this change might impact the torrenting experience, specifically why it affects seeding but not downloading. Could this decision be driven by security and privacy concerns?
