Mullvad doesn't support port forwarding [1] for users that need it unlike proton vpn [2].

Although I have never needed it myself, which in that case Mullvad might be better since they require minimal registration details.

unless you have a specific use case where you need to run a server through your vpn this isn't as much of a problem as you think it is.

torrents for example have hole punching functionality built into uTP where reachable peers help unreachable peers connect to each other.
