VPN Provider with Port Forwarding & SOCKS5 (lemmy.ca)

My VPN plan is up for renewal, and I'd like to move from my current provider (Privado) to one that supports port forwarding while maintaining access to a SOCKS5 service.

AirVPN would have been my choice, but doesn't have SOCKS5.

Private Internet Access checks off the boxes but I'm not familiar with the company behind it.

Thanks for the help and recommendations.

Port forwarding allows you to accept incoming connections. When torrenting, one client connects to the other. The one that is connected to needs a forwarded port.
