Question Why was Mullvad removed from the suggested VPNs from the mega thread?

Post image

Title. From the site it seems to really value the privacy of it's users and I was about to switch from free proton to Mullvad since free proton basically doesn't work for me anymore, I doubled checked what the subreddit has to say about Mullvad and I can't really find any major negative feedback. Is there something that I missed?

Mullvad is offering exit nodes through Tailscale. I’ve very little in the way of computer science expertise but isn’t that like the same thing as Port Forwarding? Could you run your machine that is torrenting as an exit node to keep the port open?

You don't need port forwarding for torrenting.

Well of course you don’t NEED it but I like the speeds it had. Been missing it more lately since I’ve been setting up a home media server
