Anybody know of a VPN service that

Allows port forwarding (i.e. you can run a bittorrent client and accept incoming connections)
Allows connections using the Wireguard protocol
Doesn't have Israeli ownership
Isn't owned by fascists
Has exit nodes around the world, with a decent number of options and good speeds

So far, the ones with major problems are:

Mullvad is out because of pro-Fascist ownership.
CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, ExpressVPN, and Intego are owned by Kape Technologies which is Israeli

I'm unsure about the whether airvpn is owned by fascists but it seems to fit the rest of your criteria and at least on paper is italian

Agreed. This is what I use for my bittorrent server.

Unless I'm mistaken, also problematic

Njalla is owned by Peter Sunde and almost fits the bill.

Minus the exit nodes around the world.
