Are the P2P servers the only NordVPN servers with dynamic port forwarding (UPnP) enabled?

    What P2P traffic will they block on normal servers? Bittorrent traffic?

    Essentially the P2P servers do not have port forwarding of any kind, they are servers were torrenting is allowed and in juristrictions that tolerate bittorrent traffic to an extent?

      Allegedly they don’t block P2P traffic on the normal servers.

      Second question: yes.

      My unsolicited opinion: Stay away from NordVPN. If for no other reason, then because they apparently spend a lot of money on paid advertising disguised as reviews, and send shills into spaces like this to try and make themselves look good. They also have a default auto-renewal active on the subscriptions. IMO these are 100% dishonest company tactics - major red flags. You have been warned.

      I tried them quite a while back and they had very poor Linux support, and their technical support team was no use whatsoever. Every client version update was a 50/50 gamble if it would work afterwards. And they only had CLI, no GUI for Linux, if that’s important. Their login process was also very strange for a Linux user limited to CLI for usage. The whole thing seemed like their Linux support was an afterthought and they gave exactly zero fucks about it sucking.

      I resorted to using an openvpn script in network manager and forgoing the features such as killswitch, etc… In the end I stopped using their vpn altogether, long before my subscription ran out. I have absolutely nothing good to say about NordVPN.
