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

    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.
