Interesting. I’d actually pay for an in browser VPN, it’s handy to be able to switch countries on the fly. Ideally even per browser tab.

I would not however pay for Mozilla’s mullvad thing. I don’t like mullvad since they dropped port forwarding and OpenVPN. I use proton now for that. But in the browser is a different usecase for me.

It’s just weird that it’s not possible to pay for this but only for the thing I don’t want.

I keep hearing about people dropping Mullvad for port forwarding…why do y’all need port forwarding while trying to stay anonymous?
AFAIK torrent. But I’ve been torrenting all my life without port forward and I have all the seasons from my favorite Linux distros,.
It is basically a requirement in most private trackers. Either because it literally is, or to be able to hit seeding limits quickly.
