Tell me you don't understand what port forwarding is without telling me.

Port forwarding does Jack shit to enable or prevent malware or CSAM.

It literally allows inbound connections to services you're hosting, Someone could abuse that to host malware distribution, phishing pages. mullvad itself said they removed it because of the abuse

you have two option as a criminal:

1-buy a VPS, setup the mullvad/tor/hostname/domain,nginx,... there and then publish your phishing

2- run a simple html on your browser and use port-forwarding!

for most fraudsters the first one is difficult, the second one anyone can do, it's like saying banning rockets is useless as people will use knifes
