40 months of PIA is $80. So for $2 a month, you can have it all with no ads and no region locking.

Remember to use streamio so you don't have to download shit. 😉

What's PIA?

[–] best_username_ever@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The shittiest VPN company that you shouldn’t trust ever.

I don't trust anyone, but I haven't heard bat things about PIA. That was just the first one I looked up. Did something happen that we shouldn't trust them? I know Nord is now suspect.

Bad things about PIA? Apart from the fact it was bought 5 years ago by Kape Technologies, a former malware distributor, involved in state sponsored espionage and mass surveillance, who also owns Cyberghost, Express VPN and Zenmate plus a plethora of VPN review sites and social network channels that promote its own products as top notch?

TIL thanks! Which VPN would you suggest?

[–] dvdnet62@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am PIA User atm and my subscription will end next year. So, I am still undedcided between Mullvad or protonvpn

[–] Laser@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Mullvad doesn't support port forwarding, so it's not an option for the issue discussed here

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Private Internet Access is a VPN service.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Private Internet Access, it's a VPN that handles streaming and torrenting well.

Pia?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's a vpn. There are many, that's just one example.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'd take a PIA for $2 per month
