Mullvad's ads are good
-
Mullvad disabled port forwarding. Bad for torrents. That was when everyone I know stopped using it.
Not being able to host my web apps made it a no for me
-
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.
They should hire you!

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.

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
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.

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.

Mod here . I found this amusing, and op is good sport, so fuck y'all I'm leaving it up.

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.

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.

Proton i believe has a selection of locations that support port forwarding.

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.

Nah, the reason ads are bad is because they poison your mind down to the unconscious parts. It doesn't matter if the company behind it is moral or not, it's still memetic pollution.
Edit: For the record I don't have a huge issue with this post being here, but I wanted to chip in with my opinion that ads are bad even if you separate them from the product they're advertising.
How would anyone be informed of something existing without telling people the product exists
-
They were on Boston's T stations as well a couple months ago. Maybe they target cities specifically, I haven't seen any outside tech industry centers.
Saw some in London last month.

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.

Carl's Jr. - Fuck you! Im eating.

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

I moved to AriVpn As Mullvad stopped supporting port forwarding. I can recommend Air.

When Tailscale turns to shit then we have Netbird as an alternative
I have made a note, thank you!

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.
Oh yeah, sorry not trying to be snarky - you are completely right so it is useful information.
