Edit to add: Jeez, relax. I was on my way home from a doctor’s appointment and saw that ad. It made me chuckle so I posted it here.
If seeing this post really upsets you, take some deep breaths and keep scrolling. With any luck, you’ll have fully healed in a couple of days.
Jokes on you, I already pay for Mullvad. AD fucking failure
Mullvad disabled port forwarding. Bad for torrents. That was when everyone I know stopped using it.
Yep. This here
They pussied out
Not being able to host my web apps made it a no for me
Hosting a website over a VPN is not a great idea anyways. You should use something like Cloudflares proxied domains or tunnels. Your users will get far better performance and you'll see significantly less load on your network.
It would be holepunching through (excluding apps but at the port level)
But the apps are for myself
What VPN is left that I can use to host my website with open ports 80 and 443 ?
For other ports, you can use AirVPN. For 80 and 443, rent a cheap vps and use it as a reverse proxy, then point it to your actually open ports. Or just host on the cheap vps.
Yes, that's what I do, but then my address isn't mixed with hundreds of other users, I wish I could have a web service, with a dynanic dns domain name and letsencrypt certificates but the anonymous front that a vpn provides.
I moved to AriVpn As Mullvad stopped supporting port forwarding. I can recommend Air.
Proton i believe has a selection of locations that support port forwarding.
None I assume. No sane VPN provider will let their users do that.
edit: Maybe I should clarify? AirVPN supportswport forwarding but obviously not for 80/443. 99 out of 100 that shit is going to be hosting nono porn.
Mullvad is great, only VPN i'll ever use. I'm just a random number to them. no emails, no names, nothing. Hell I can even just pay them in cash if I wanted. Their service has improved too. on some wifi networks it would take me a couple minutes to connect but now it's instant. Soon as I boot into my WM just "mullvad connect" in the terminal and I'm good to go.
Honestly that sounds great. I'm kind of annoyed how often NordVPN keeps emailing me and trying to upsell me on the daily.
The service is fine overall. But the nonstop promotion, along with it being a US company that can easily just give all their info to the US government, makes me wanting to switch pronto.
I don't think NordVPN is American. They just market heavily via American YouTubers. It has Lithuanian roots and is incorporated in The Netherlands according to Wikipedia.
I pay for mine with vouchers, just as convenient as a credit card as long as you renew ahead of time, and just as anonymous as cash.
Wish I could buy them somewhere other than amazon though.
Mullvad is one of those services that just works and I never worry about whether my server's connection has fallen over. It's fairly priced, transparent, and doesn't abuse my privacy or trust. They never try to lure me into buying more/bigger/better like pretty much every company does now. Much like my water supply, I literally forget that the underlying solution exists because it so reliably does it's job.
Feeling the same about Tailscale recently, but this comment is bait to find out if I'm wrong! Not paying yet but considering it.
Tailscale is a VPN in the classic sense, I e. to build a secure network over an insecure one. Mullvad is a service to hide your public IP address and switch from having to trust your ISP to having to trust Mullvad.
I too have a subscription to one of the latter services, but I always find them sketchy
Yes I know, that's why I use both for different purposes
I mean whether TailScale is more similar to Mullvad in business model and customer centrism, or whether the early signs of enshittification are already there (I haven't seen any red flags to date)
Ok, I don't really know why I wrote all that because it was pretty clear from context you know the difference. Hopefully it helps others.
For me, Mullvad isn't an option because they don't have port forwarding anymore.
I found it useful, thanks for posting!
Oh yeah, sorry not trying to be snarky - you are completely right so it is useful information.
Mod here . I found this amusing, and op is good sport, so fuck y'all I'm leaving it up. 😁
11/10 mod behavior
Appreciate this.
That's how classic Reddit was for me.
Mods who are extremely rigid to the rules had to exist when the spammers went crazy. But with smaller communities, modding should be based on vibes. You get better conversations that way.
All I have to say to these commenters suggesting OP is a shill:
Chill out and drink a nice, refreshing Dr. Pepper to calm your nerves.
^this message brought to you by Carl's Jr. and the Ad Council^
Carl's Jr. - Fuck you! Im eating.
This also made me chuckle. 10/10 comment.
Deep, have a fresca.
Lol, people have post-reddit PTSD if they think you're a shill. Maybe if/when Lemmy hits the mainstream but man, we're so off the radar most marketers have no idea this place exists.
It's a waste of money unless you're advertising something for Linux and/or communism... which would be a bit of a paradox, lol
linux/communism is mostly a package deal these days
i'd just like to interject for a moment, what you're calling linux/communism is actually gnu/linux/communism. or something. idk, i really don't want to see walls of text by richard stallman here.
My fucking lord I didn’t laugh at any of the parent comments…. But GNU xD
If I ever start selling any software I'll gladly market it on Lemmy, but only because it would be a privacy preserving alternative to some enshittified existing service.
This is the type of ad I absolutely don't mind because they aren't for absolutely soulless companies that will fuck your grandma and then sue you for emotional damages afterwards.
love mullvad wish they where clearer explaing how vpns work and the downsides but still love mullvad
I’m happy with proton
i knew mullvad was an absolute banger when i made an account. biggest green flag ever, radioactive green.
We've been getting ads from them in Seattle too
It's reached a point where the government is pushing for websites to card you before you can enter.
Women apps were giving data so the government can arrest women for abortion-like behavior.
We're already at the point where privacy/anonymity is the only way to visit the internet.
