FastestVPN’s Response: Addressing these concerns, a FastestVPN spokesperson mentioned, “Yes, some security holes come with it [port forwarding], and we’re ready to provide solutions for using it carefully. It’s not within our intention to put any user in harm’s way, but we simply provide what our customers have been asking for.”
FastestVPN recommends using the feature with discretion. For users at higher risk who require port forwarding, the provider suggests contacting the support chat to inform them of the intended IP access beforehand. Traffic will be accepted only to those IPs specified.
Users may also consider using an alternative VPN or proxy service alongside FastestVPN to create a Double VPN, adding an extra layer of encryption. For additional information and advice, FastestVPN directs users to a dedicated blog post.
