What's the point of port forwarding when PIA rotates IPs?
This surely has to be a bug.
As per https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivateInternetAccess/comments/1qq5yvj/vpn_assigned_ip_does_not_correspond_to_external_ip/ ... PIA appears to be rotating IPs on an almost per-packet (TCP connection?) basis, on many regional servers now. And it seems they're gradually migrating them all over to this bonkers setup.
This might be neat for web browsing, but it obviously breaks a lot of applications - including BitTorrent and/or anything involving Port Forwarding, which is a key PIA feature that some VPNs now lack.
e.g.: Connect to Swiss region, port forwarding enabled, you keep the port number but don't keep the IP address. How stupid is that? It makes no logical sense, and I don't see anyone pointing out this absurdity. This HAS to be a bug, right?
If they're going to make this change permanent for all servers eventually, PIA need to slow down the rotation to something sensible like a couple of hours minimum. OR they need to completely disable this functionality for connections with port forwarding. Offering to sell you a dedicated IP is not a solution we should accept.
