Du#1359 | If they comply with takedowns, which is impossible to do that and keep anonymity | 18:43:10 |
Du#1359 | Would also have a negative effect on the rest of the network as ISPs start to block mullvad servers under force of law | 18:44:34 |
CyberSocilaist#4170 | i agree - better that they removed this feature to preseve anonymity as a core part of the service. | 18:44:37 |
CyberSocilaist#4170 | I suppose they could have restricted it to a few servers instead? | 18:45:15 |
CyberSocilaist#4170 | I mean, someone else will just see a gap in the market and do it. Back to square one | 18:45:38 |
DieselTech#6997 | It could of been a compromise. You can have annon VPN, but you don't get port forwarding | 18:45:51 |
DieselTech#6997 | If you want port forwarding then you have to identify yourself in some way, what that would look like would have to be decided | 18:47:09 |
DieselTech#6997 | But even then they know the IP that it's being forwarded to | 18:47:14 |
DieselTech#6997 | They could of just passed those IP's on to local officials | 18:47:14 |

DieselTech#6997 | To me is just sounds like they didn't want to put any brain power into figuring out a solution and just lazyly banned it all | 18:47:49 |
DieselTech#6997 | If you don't work with the governments a little bit, you'll get stuff like this | 18:49:28 |

Du#1359 | Eh, once you log some ips, you lose trust. Right now, they can say that they have no technical way to track or log, with current stack | 18:50:00 |
Du#1359 | I think they make the right choice for them, as much as I hate the loss of functionally | 18:50:27 |
Du#1359 | And those who disagree have other options | 18:50:43 |
Du#1359 | They did extend refund periods, etc | 18:50:54 |
CLHatch | I was literally checking the prices at Mullvad, considering switching from Torgaurd. And saw the the blog released THAT DAY about discontinuing port forwarding support. Changed my plans real fast. 😄 Actually decided to give Torguard more money instead, upgraded to their 10Gb servers. | 23:09:02 |
kaos3000#1819 | not sure what the 10Gb servers plan are. tried to check the site to see what was offered with that but it's not accessible. possibly getting hugged like a few other sites the last day or two. I just have a sub to the Anonymous VPN plan. | 23:20:38 |
kaos3000#1819 | Site is back. Looks like the Anonymous Premium Proxy. Never looked at those as the package I'm on has always covered my needs | 23:29:59 |
CLHatch | One drawback to the 10Gb servers is no wireguard support on those ones, seems. But I'm pretty sure the others are 1Gb max, and I have 2Gb download. So higher max throughput. | 23:31:01 |
CLHatch | Figured I'd try it out. | 23:31:43 |

Du#1359 | Great documentation, too | 00:14:15 |
DieselTech#6997 | Oh nice, I'll have to look into it | 00:14:17 |
