I have had PIA for years on desktop and mobile with firefox and it’s been fine. Any reason I should consider switching, or is it still generally good for privacy?

I occasionally torrent. But I’d like to browse and post politically sensitive content safely. Here on Lemmy, but also other non federated places.

Thanks

    Be careful it’s owned by an Israeli company that also owns ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, and Zenmate - Kape technologies

    I still have it for torrenting purposes only; it works and works well. Can’t speak to any more than that.

    There are 4 privacy respecting VPNs out there: Mullvad, Proton VPN, IVPN, Windscribe. As for my opinion I have been using Windscribe for years now and it’s been great but I have a specific use case for a VPN so I need one regardless of the privacy aspect. My point is if you want a VPN just for the hypothetical privacy gains in my opinion you’re wasting time and money.
