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?

I am PIA User atm and my subscription will end next year. So, I am still undedcided between Mullvad or protonvpn

Mullvad doesn't support port forwarding, so it's not an option for the issue discussed here

Private Internet Access is a VPN service.

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