Support will be removed on both client and server side.

The process of removing OpenVPN from our app starts today and may be completed much earlier.

        Wasn’t aware of this. I’ll check it out! One annoying thing with Mullvad though is the wireguard keys count against your device limit and I already have problems with that. Using OpenVPN didn’t count against the limit. The again I’m also considering switch to Surfshark since its cheaper.

          Yeah the device limit is annoying. I switched to AirVPN when Mullvad stopped doing port forwarding and it’s been fine so far. But you’d run into the same issue with the device limit.

          I’m not a network expert so I honestly don’t know the difference between the two protocols enough to say that they’re any benefit of one over the other, but there might be a reason that WireGuard is becoming the default? Idk honestly.

          Anyway, AirVPN still suports port forwarding and supports OpenVPN so might be an alternative for you. They don’t do security audits which is imo sketchy and makes me question if they are honest about their no logs policy, but otoh they have been around for a long time and there hasn’t been any incidence, which makes me think they’re probably good enough for torrenting.

      sometimes people keep a container for the vpn/proxy, and set up the other one to use the network of the other container
