What VPN should I use now that Mullvad doesn't allow portforwarding?

I'm mainly only using it for p2p, everything else is secondary. Portforwarding is necessary though.

Edit: Decided on AirVPN. It wasn't too pricy, only 2 dollars above my current Usenet + Indexer plan.

Just learned about the removal of port forwarding. Damn this sucks.
- I’ve had mullvad for years but never forwarded a port. What’s the use case? Like if a game won’t connect properly or something? Just curious what I’m missing out on
  
  It's useful for opening up ports for Bittorrent, which is the main reason Mullvad is deciding to shut them down.
I use Proton VPN, but it's not free.
I've been using AirVPN for seven years with few problems. I'd recommend waiting for one of their big sales (Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas, anniversary sale) to buy a two or three year plan.
Can't access it now because the subreddit is private, but I remember that IVPN and AirVPN are recommended. I think ProtonVPN is too, but the port forwarding might be a bit of a hassle depending on your OS. CryptoStorm used to be recommended, but was removed because of "lack of recent activity", whatever the hell that means.
