If you Google "NordVPN port mapping" you get an article from them, which explains port mapping, what it is, and then at the end "We don't support it".
Really annoying that every service has like a whole essay on what functionality is and then 1 one liner saying they don't support it.
- lxgr 4y agoTheir "articles" largely seem to be SEO/content farm pieces without any meaningful content. For example, their article on SOCKS vs. HTTP proxies vs. VPNs is factually nonsensical (by e.g. describing HTTP proxies as "always unencrypted", or SOCKS as having higher performance due to "not rewriting packet headers"): https://nordvpn.com/blog/socks5-proxy/ https://nordvpn.com/blog/socks5-proxy/
- WirelessGigabit 4y agoYea, same thing happens when you search for 'Console lock timeout' (how long does the login screen show on Windows 11 before it puts the monitor back to sleep, default = 1 minute, not configurable by default). Somewhere there is a FULL article on how to do this on the website or partitionwizard... WHY? You see 20 websites with the same info re-hashed. And none of them mention the particular edge case that I'm running into. I really wish Google goes back to preferring bullet points over prose. Another example: Search for 'squirrel bite rabies'. You only get pest control companies telling you how you can get rabies. Except there have never been any reported cases in the USA.
