What are good alternatives since Mullvad and IVPN disabled their portforwarding?

I have been a happy Proton VPN user for years.
Just switched to AirVPN. All works well.
- Same here. I've been really impressed with it so far.
Here is a list of VPN services that accept crypto payments (a good proxy for being privacy friendly) https://kycnot.me/services#VPN
I use ProtonVPN and am happy but not sure if they allow port forwarding.
Noob here. What's wrong with not having portforwarding?
- Seeding/downloading torrents with private trackers requires portforwarding to be effective, also accessing a home network from the internet (I'm still researching that usecase, if someone has any useful tutorials I'll take it.)
  
  So does not having port forwarding mean it’s not safe to use it for torrenting? As long as my ISP doesn’t know I’m illegally torrenting stuff, I’m not really concerned personally
cryptostorm, perfect-privacy, njalla, airvpn, protonvpn, windscribe. there's alot.
- perfect-privacy requires PF to be set every 7 days. otherwise it’s good.
  
  Jesus what a pain in the ass. I get that there are limited ports but that would drive me up the wall pretty quickly.
I think you can even port forward with the free plan of ProtonVPN.
- You can't. Proton only supports torrenting on specific servers that aren't included in the free plan
