PIA east server boosts my connection by 26mbps. Normal connection I get 58mbps, connected to east PIA, it jumps me to 84mbps! Crazy. Edit: It jumps from 80-87mbps.  |

pia client. with full encryption. I haven't touched my vpn in like a long while now. With mining+vpn, ping is harsher. I'll be back on it once I get my rasberry PI to run my gridseed/future gridseeds. My internet is just much faster with pia than alone with my ISP. It's like with vpn, it cuts through all the bs that the ISP has. :s |

Wow thats crazy that it actually boosts your internet speed instead of slowing it down. I've used PIA but it only maintened my normal internet speed.
