How are other VPN services able to do port forwarding without having this problem?

They force you to pay with KYC money... No Pedo is stupid enough to be spreading CSAM on that VPN

What’s the benefit of port forwarding when using a VPN?

When you torrent you can only connect to peers that have open ports, if your ports are closed. Which means it makes it a lot harder to upload if you rely on private trackers and maintaining a good ratio. One can still download and upload, but for especially older torrents it has a good chance to affect your speeds and ability to download.

Seems like it will cost Mullvad more for bandwidth. Great feature overall, very similar to Monero's Dandelion++

AirVPN doesn't.

Given how often I see articles where a pedo was caught because they were sending photos over telegram unencrypted or similar. I do think many are that stupid.

I think that's another reputable VPN?
Then my theory might be debunked or they will get forced to cut off port forwarding too

If ya do it right, you can't distinguish the signal from the noise. Encryption makes data look random. So if you send dummy random data then it just looks like constant random data. No signal is distinguishable.

It's nice, but it brought my speeds to a crawl.

This is accurate when using the BT protocol. However if you have uTP (Micro Transport Protocol) enabled, it has "support for NAT traversal using UDP hole punching between two port-restricted peers where a third unrestricted peer acts as a STUN server."

Much like other criminals, only the stupid ones get caught. Look at how many of those articles say that they'd been doing it for decades. Many more of them are out there right now.

I'm not sure. Some people say that because they're in Italy which is part of the N eyes, they're not trustworthy.
Then there's the fact that they haven't been audited independently. The admin says it's because audits are security theater not real proof of privacy, so he'd rather not give some 3rd party root access to the servers.

Let's give credit where it's due: https://github.com/maybenot-io/maybenot
The Maybenot Framework (FOSS) is how Mulvad pulls this off, and if you run your own VPN you can use this too! Mulvad is a contributor, so good on them.

If I understand it correctly, it's an app feature (or is it server side?). I'm interested since I use mullvad on router.
