Wasn’t PIA bought out by a company that keeps logs a couple years ago? Interesting it made it on this list.
The list are not recommended VPN Providers, they are anything but private since they are using Google services etc
I've been using PIA for years. I didn't know about that. If I were to switch to a new company, any recommendations?
It was a whole hoopla but to what I know they still don't keep logs. I believe one of the times they were asked to appear in court (and gave nothing) was since the purchase.
I switched from PIA to Mullvad w/ Wireguard a few years ago. I use BTC to pay and you don't need to supply an email or any info. They've been great for me.
Yes they were bought by an Israeli spyware company.

Yeah kinda sus 👀
I've been using PIA for years for my downloading purposes, as well as having a VPN when I travel. No issues at all and completely reliable. Don't know if I'd trust them to leak state secrets, but not an issue because I don't have any.
