PIA up in 2 days, stick or twist?

ssmacc · 20 Apr 2022 at 21:36

Hello,

As title I'm wondering if I should stick with PIA as my VPN or try something different?

Any advice appreciated.

I had the same dilemma a few months ago but having done some research couldn't find anyone better/cheaper than PIA - especially as I am on some sort of legacy deal where it's cheaper than a new customer because I've been with them a while!

Cheers, that's made me think sticking is the best option... Unless anyone else has advice?

I've had both Nord and PIA in the past, I preferred PIA but wasn't much difference.

Mulllvad. It’ll cost you, but it’s also excellent.

Private internet access is actually more expensive, even on the legacy plan.

There's a big "81% off" button on their homepage that makes it £1.69 a month if you buy two years upfront. I don't think anybody pays the list price for VPN services.

It's difficult verging on impossible to make a recommendation, when you've provided zero inkling as to your use case (or threat model). What do you use a VPN for? Privacy? Bypass ISP/government logging? Streaming? Running servers you don't want finding? All of the aforementioned and more?...

Outwith some actual criteria, this is a solid shout (as always from Chris):

I know what you are saying and I though about detailing "normal" VPN usage but decided against (not sure the rules around avoiding Geo-blocking for example)
