been using them for around 2 months bought the 6 month option a while back no complaints you can turn the auto kill option which is a cool feature which other free services i have used didnt have and i had to use a external program to do so i never have paid for another vpn service so cant really cmpare the speed.

Is this the best vpn provider around?

I've been reading reviews and can't make up my mind.

Have you seen this from Torrentfreak?

Question is, why do you need one? The answer would depend on your application.
If you are simply looking for privacy you are better off using Tor.

Regarding VPN, most of them will offer a small free trial. Use it and see if it works for you.

Unreliable. By the time I found out how unreliable PIA was, they would not refund any money. They respond to chat, but after many chat sessions, the service is still unreliable. They ask me to change the Connection Type or Remote Port, and then the service starts to work better. A few days later, it fails again. The icon turns red, and the VPN connection is dropped. The VPN Kill Switch does not work. I cannot depend of this service using their client. Money down the drain. I just wished it worked.

Now I am with YourPrivateVPN which also accepts bitcoins. YourPrivateVPN is a fast, reliable, and secure vpn company. I have not found a better VPN service.

Yes, I've used it. Everything is good: speed, choice of servers, etc. and they don't keep logs. PIA even sponsors the forum!

Pretty cheap for the service not many vpns dont keep logs and are as fast try it for a short period before getting the yearly deal
