I was just curious about this because I haven’t seen anything on this community, and I don’t want to get in trouble with my ISP since it’s the only reliable one in my area. If so, is it exclusively the paid tiers, or free tiers too?

I would recommend ProtonVPN, Windscribe is kinda predatory in their pricing and I don’t appreciate it

I find their pricing to be rather reasonable. They even have a lifetime plan.

I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.

All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.

Proton also has a free tier, though I'm not sure how well P2P works on it.

Just a note that Proton VPN doesn't allow P2P on their free plan.

Just curious, why were wanting to replace Mullvad?

They don't allow port forwarding anymore, if I'm not mistaken

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 1 points 5 months ago

As the other user said, they removed support for port forwarding. They are my #1 pick for anyone where that is not a concern.

I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they'd gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬

They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that
