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.
Wait why "if you're crazy"? I know wireguard is faster but is there something I'm missing?
No, you are not missing anything. Wireguard is just much better.
I have heard that it is impossible to have no logs with wireguard because the configuration requires an static IP log and public key or something similar which normal openVPN doesn't, so it breaks the "no log" policy.
I am not suse how correct that is, but that was a discussion earlier.

Here is what Mullvad has to say about that: https://mullvad.net/en/help/why-wireguard/
Ah, nice. No issue for mullvad then. I wonder if other VPNs do something similar. Otherwise they.could be stored for multiple months.
you should use openvpn in difficult network configurations such as college dorm blocking everything except tcp 443 and tcp 80 or with old clients that don't support wireguard
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
Is that a deal breaker? Why not just tunnel through if you need
