Hey they did support it until they were getting difficult legal contacts because some users were abusing it, and getting turned away by different hosting providers.

They shut it down to protect the rest of us who use it without abusing it.

Unfortunately port forwarding also allows avenues for abuse, which in some cases can result in a far worse experience for the majority of our users. Regrettably individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services from ports that are forwarded from our VPN servers. This has led to law enforcement contacting us, our IPs getting blacklisted, and hosting providers cancelling us.

The result is that it affects the majority of our users negatively, because they cannot use our service without having services being blocked.

I know the port forwarding thing can be a deal-breaker for some people, but it’s not Mullvad’s fault that they needed to remove this to be able to continue providing quality services for the rest of their customer base.

This is sadly one of those “this is why we can’t have nice things” type deals because when enough people abuse it, it becomes a problem. I have no ill will towards Mullvad for taking it away when it became financially and legally foolish to continue doing so.

God damn it these fucking techbro loligarchs and their dipshit nerd humor.

Hurr hurr we’re making a fork of the US government code hurr durr.

What a bunch of juvenile fucking delinquents.

More like 1938:

The same VISA that blocks payment processing for sites that have pornography or unsavory politics. Things that are both widely available on X.

The amount of companies making super fucking clear that they don’t care that Nazis are in charge, they’re here to make money, is what we should have always expected.

They care more about the profits than whether the society they exist in has morals or values. If it weren’t for double standards they’d have no standards at all.

My grandpappy got to work in the mines with a high school education! He got paid well, he could raise a family, and he only died from black lung at 43! I deserve to work a shit job for lower wages than I deserve to be able to pretend I’m getting a good deal out of society like my grandpappy pretended until he croaked! That’s when grandma got to stop pretending, too, and she married her neighbor Ruth. Fucking women ruining men’s lives and killing them young with black lung is the real issue!

Or something like that. A big big part of it seems to be genuinely a deep resentment for anyone educated and skilled, and a feeling of being deserving of a certain quality of life while not contributing much… which is wild because like… How do they not see that everyone deserves a decent quality of life even if they don’t have a great education? Because they can’t feel positive about their quality of life if they’re not lording it over someone who has it worse than them? It feels like all these things that they rail against like higher minimum wage and unions and whatnot all would give them what they want but they’re somehow too fuckstupid to put it together. It’s such a deeply fucking broken way to live, and it must be really lonely.

Oh everyone is fed up but we just elected a guy and government who is sure to make it all way way way worse.

He just helped put the nail in the coffin of the lie that crypto is for anything but scams, don’t worry, it’s gonna get real bad before it gets any better.

The internet is fragmenting and healing. It was never supposed to be so centralized.
