Private Internet Access does not log user activity, such as what files they accessed or changes they made to a website. Court cases are indeed a good test to verify logging claims.

You can get the details in our PureVPN review. You can read the PIA privacy policy for more info. Private Internet Access has previously been among the best cheap VPNs on the market, with very affordable prices. They currently do not offer any free trials. Refund policy — All plans come with a 30 day refund policy, which is about average for the VPN industry.

Reading through the Terms of Service, I did find a few exceptions to the 30 day refund window:. Due to limitations with 3rd party payment processors, certain accounts cannot be refunded by PIA directly.

Accounts purchased through the Apple Store, Giftcards or 3rd party deal sites, can only be refunded by the payment processor. Payment options — At the time of this PIA review, they currently offer four different payment methods, as you can see below:. This is a pretty good selection of options. So overall this is another strong point for PIA. One of the biggest drawbacks we noted in this PIA review was with performance.

This was somewhat surprising, however, since most VPNs that support WireGuard have excellent performance. This is really bad. Getting only 41 Mbps on a Mbps connection is definitely slower than average. While this is better than the previous test result, it is still quite slow. We should be getting speeds over Mbps, especially with the WireGuard protocol. For the final speed test, I decided to try a location across the pond in the United Kingdom.

In previous PIA reviews, speeds were better. It also supports the WireGuard protocol and has a huge global network of fast servers.

Here is one server location in Seattle with speeds of Mbps:. While Private Internet Access does well in some areas of privacy, one major drawback is the jurisdiction. PIA is based in the United States, which is a member of the five eyes surveillance alliance.

And aside from the surveillance concerns, there are also legal drawbacks to operating a VPN in the US. The biggest issue is that the US government can legally force businesses to log customer data and provide this to authorities. Additionally, authorities can also issue gag orders, thereby prohibiting the business from alerting its customers to privacy violations see National Security Letters. Another example was Lavabit being coerced to hand over encryption keys.

Ultimately, the answer is that it depends on your unique needs and threat model, which you should consider when selecting the best VPN service for your needs. As a business operating in the United States, PIA is still obligated to comply with all US laws, regulations, and court orders — or shut down like Lavabit in Private Internet Access has never done well for streaming in my tests.

For example, Netflix has always been hit or miss. Private Internet Access may get through with some servers, but it did not work with the ones I tried to use. It is not the best VPN for Netflix based on my own tests, but things are constantly in flux when it comes to Netflix and VPNs, so you may want to test this yourself. Even though I could not access Netflix with Private Internet Access, there may be a few servers in the network that are getting through but I gave up.

Once again, however, PIA was not able to get through and was blocked out. Note: Many people also use VPNs on streaming devices. One such example of this is using a VPN for Firestick. Unfortunately, PIA does not offer a dedicated Firestick app at this time. Here are the main highlights:. As we have noted before, trust is a major factor when choosing Privacy Tools.

After all, a VPN has the potential to record everything you do online when you decide to use it to encrypt traffic. We have taken a closer look at Crossrider and Kape here. Ultimately, we learned that Crossrider created a development platform that third parties used to infect devices with malware.

However, Crossrider itself was not the owner or creator of that malware. Due to abuse carried out by third parties, Crossrider shut down its platform in and pivoted to the security VPN and security industry.

Private Internet Access offers email ticket support and chat. Unfortunately, I was not able to reach live chat support when I tried for this review. Here was the message I received when attempting to connect with a support technician at PIA:. This does not seem to be the case with PIA at this time. Mark Karpeles was running Mt.

Gox in when it suddenly collapsed, with millions of dollars in Bitcoins disappearing. Karpeles was subsequently arrested in Japan and charged with fraud and embezzlement. As to where all the Bitcoins that were stored at Mt. Gox ended up, nobody seems to know :. Gox hack. A number of online theories have been developed as to where the missing coins are.

Some have suggested that Mt. Gox held more bitcoin than it in fact held. In March , Karpeles was found guilty of tampering with financial records in a Japanese court.

When selecting the best VPN for torrenting , there are a few things you want to look for:. While PIA offers secure apps with a kill switch, the speeds were not good in my tests. This means that torrenting will be most likely be slow.

On a positive note, PIA does have port forwarding, which is useful with torrenting, but the slow speeds are still a big drawback. Sign In. Down 17, this week. View rank on IMDbPro ».
