Private Internet Access (PIA) is one of the most popular VPNs on the market. True to its name, this provider is best known for its strict no-logs policy and commitment to user privacy.

I Trust PIA
PIA has been protecting me for years now and been very easy to use. Payment via gift card is straightforward and an excellent option -- though a more expensive option since you won't get as many days as you would via other sources for the same amount of money. However, PIA has proven itself to be trustworthy with its no logs policy. That in itself makes me a loyal and continuing subscriber.

Cheap and nasty - avoid
Now owned by a company known for malware and adware, this product is cheap and useless.

Their service is useless and all they are concerned with is “can I close your ticket now?”

Excellent and reliable
Super fast on VPN Plus package, speed is great, and reliability with the connection.
A lot of Premium servers to choose from.
Secure Core, the best when in doubt, outside or running illegal activities to hide your activity either from government.
Recommend it!
Also, using ProtonMail with ProtonVPN in combination.
Great for privacy and protection.

Scammers and bad
They stopped my VPN for months, then tried to charge me for months and it did not work. I paid for a fresh month then they refuse to refund my money and refuse to provide service.
It has been the worst experience of my life.
