And if you use one, are you happy with it?

I'm trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It's mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

I’ve been using PIA since 2015, and I’ve never really had any issues with it, it does what I need it to do and it only costs $40 a year.

PIA is owned by an Israeli data-harvester, Teddy Sagi, since 2018.

Sorry for the late response to this, but I’m not on here often. I’m well aware that kape technologies bought PIA awhile back, and I’m aware that sagi is of Israeli descent, but I’m not seeing any evidence that PIA has engaged in any data harvesting. Just because the Israeli government is shady doesn’t automatically mean that anyone who’s ever lived in Israel has engaged in or agrees with their bullshit.
