I use Private Internet Access (PIA) and that has port forwarding. I read something about it on reddit but forgot about it, so idk of there’s anything bad it controversial surrounding PIA.

They got bought by a malvertising company a few years ago. It’s what made me drop them after being a customer of theirs for years.

There is, just not in relation to piracy. The concerns are more over its financial incentives/ownership and privacy.
