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.

    Ivpn would be your best choice I think. I’m using proton VPN after mullvad abandoned port forwarding (why oh why did they do that!), but their client for Linux is basic but they are developing a new one at the moment. So port forwarding is a bit difficult to setup (but they do have it).

      Sorry but your wording is a bit confusing. Are you saying that Proton have port forwarding but it’s difficult to set up? And is Mullvad developing a new client or is it Proton? And how does IVPN fit into the picture, do they not have any of these limitations as Proton/Mullvad?

        Sorry haven’t had coffee yet. So in short:

        Proton has port forwarding but difficult to setup on Linux. They are developing a Linux client more feature rich where hopefully oort forwarding will be an ease just like the windows client they have. Ipvns client for linux I think has this feature but needs verification since last time I looked was more than I months ago.

          Thanks for the information; I already use proton mail plus to have all of my email domains under one, easy to sort inbox. However, I don’t wish to perform illicit activities on something with my legal name attached!

            Well they claim they don’t have a logs policy plus they don’t monitor traffic… I stopped caring about this some time ago haha.

            Then your only option is ivpn I guess.
