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

What's PIA?

Pain in advance or otherwise known as prepay.

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?

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

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Private Internet Access is a VPN service.

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