The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.
No port forwarding, though. Some old guides still list them as having that capability, so I try to mention it frequently.
I’ve never used that feature in any of my VPN clients before. What’s the actual usecase for it?
Possibly if one might want to be able to access a service behind the VPN without having a load balancer / reverse proxy?
That’s a turn off for some and I get why they did it
I don’t see why having options are turn-offs except maybe for those who provide said options.
I don’t understand. I mean I see why not having port forwarding would turn someone off from going with Mullvad, but I understand Mullvad’s rationale for doing so.
