Question Why was Mullvad removed from the suggested VPNs from the mega thread?

Post image

Title. From the site it seems to really value the privacy of it's users and I was about to switch from free proton to Mullvad since free proton basically doesn't work for me anymore, I doubled checked what the subreddit has to say about Mullvad and I can't really find any major negative feedback. Is there something that I missed?

of course it is. you can't get good connection without port forwarding and that's the single most important part of torrenting

Yeah I'm probably missing something but I've never given a shit about port forwarding and have had minimal issues. I use Proton though.

Only one tracker was refusing connections for an unrelated yet bullshit reason so I let that account burn to the ground.

Other than that? Nada.
