PIA got purchased by Kape Technologies a couple years ago. With their track record, you can choose to believe the report issued by consultants they paid, or you can just go to companies with better track records, like Mozilla VPN or Mullvad.

Seems like an easy choice to me.

I loved mullvad but they removed port forwarding and now I don't know where to go sadly.

I think Air VPN supports port forwarding

Do they but unfortunately they are also slower. I could get max 600 Megabits per second with them. I now use proton that supports at least 2,5 gigabits

Actually I mentioned AirVPN because I forgot that Proton supports port forwarding 😄

Their port forwarding works but it's very annoying because it changes the port after each connection.

Fortunately I use a third party app that automatically updates qbittorrent with the new port.

Can we trust them though (I mean as much as mullvad) ?

[–] wanderer@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I rarely use VPN, but personally I would trust them, although not as much as Mullvad

[–] UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Alright, thank you

I am inclined to say see. But probably just because I bought a three years subscription and need a peace of mind. Sadly their vl8ent is crap but at least wireguard works fine.

[–] UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Perfect, I only use wireguard anyway, thanks.
