There's way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers

As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.

Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.

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.
