> Some VPN providers, like Mullvad, offer the option of port-forwarding. The thing is Mullvad offers dynamic Port-Forwarding only. They get to decide what port number they can grant for users and users cannot request for a specific port. There are VPNs that have static port-forwarding which is rare. There are less than 5 VPN providers that have static port-forwarding from what I remember and users can decide what port number they want (unless specific port number is taken prior). It would be a pain if someone have a range of applications that already using specific port prior and would have to change them to use the VPN's defined port number depending on how much applications they have to change.
