Strange one I used to use Private Internet access a few years ago. Seems a little odd that they would employ him as a chief technology officer given the circumstances he's in and what he has previously been associated with him.
I'm not sure on alternatives I remember PIA having some good policies and having no logs if I remember correctly. But, if you don't want to use them because of this then I'm not really too sure on good alternatives that provide the same service that PIA did. It depends on what you want a VPN for too. Will using Tor browser suffice for you?
Yeah, it is very strange and unexpected, what were they thinking? I was considering changing PIA for a while now, because it doesn't support Netflix anymore. Then I discovered that it is registered in the US. It means that the government could take their records anytime even though they claim that they do not store any logs (google 14 eyes). I don't have anything to hide, but I don't want ISP selling my data to marketers. I have used Tor, but it is quite slow and I'd rather pay some extra money for speed and security. I did my research and like I said, NordVPN and ProtonVPN are the ones I'm considering (Netlix; based in Panama and Switzerland).
Do you use anything Welsh? Or do you think that it is overkill if talking strictly about security of cryptos?
