Hello all!

I have been out of the piracy game since a little before mullvad lost port-forwarding; I know these things are ever changing, and to my understanding ivpn is a good bet at this moment in time.

I was wondering what everyone else has been using. As well as if anyone has tried the gui client for ivpn either built from source or the AUR build(I do use arch btw).

I am open to any vpn client that has a good reputation in the community, and build-able from a repository; A gui is preferred but not necessary, and absolutely NO account creation (Except for generic account numbers of course).

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

Mullvad. The others have horrible apps on Linux.

Mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore. I use airvpn and you can just use the native WireGuard (or OpenVPN if you’r crazy) apps on different platforms if you want.

I use Wireguard on Mullvad. I don’t know what you’re talking about 🤷‍♂️

he is saying mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore, which is true. As a long time mullvad customer, I’m now looking for alternatives

Tbf, you don’t really need any app. With Mullvad I just download configuration files and import them in KDE. It really is dead simple. Now enabling VPN at will is just two clicks with the possibility do make it automatic with three to four clicks.

Holy shit, thank you for that information; I will definitely ensure I use a client with those vulnerabilities patched!

Another mullvad recommendation usually don’t trust any provider if they can afford and want to do advertisement all over the place. Mullvad let’s you pay in coins if you want to be super ghost

Oh yeah. I’ve used them for a couple years, I’ve just been out of the circle for 4-5 months. I also know things can change in the snap of a finger, so I figured I’d ask around. Good to see mullvad is still so highly recommended.

Airvpn with wireguard client prolly. I would just get a seedbox tbh roughly the same price but with more features

Thanks for the suggestion! This may actually be the route I may go, as I can seed MUCH higher than a 1.0 without affecting my home connection speeds.

Exactly.

You also get wireguard vpn free with seedbox. Albeit the location will be limited to Netherlands.

Is setup similar to a VPS where I can just connect from the command line and set everything up on the remote box?
