VPN's with Port Forward Feature
Use of a VPN is recommended for anyone who uses the internet. In some goverments you are your IP address. No real proof required.
Port Forwarding is not required for users who will never host a service, but it will speed up connections and data transfer between users.
Port Forwarding (A Open Port) is required for uses who host a user provided service.
A Open Port and a static IP is required in most cases for uses who host a separate No Limit Connect network.
Here is some VPN services that offer a port forwarding feature:
Most VPN providers do not provide port forwarding or require a dedicated router etc.
Beware of fake reviews etc. A VPN that is claimed to be best for torrenting does not mean it allows port forwarding.
1.) Hide.me: Supports Up to 10 dynamic port forwards.
4.3 rating on android play store
Static IP available Yes
The author of No Limit Connect recommends Hide.me because
a.) User does not have to setup port forwarding. Port forwarding is done automatically through UPNP protocol which hide.me vpn supports.
b.) Hide.me is low cost and even offers free accounts (although the free account is limited).
c.) Hide.me supports IPv6 Internet Protocol.
d.) The author of No Limit Connect gets a bit of money if you buy hide.me VPN using the advertisement below.
2.) Private Internet Access: Supports one dynamic port forward via OpenVPN or WireGuard.
