I just need a VPN to download Linux ISOs from Torrent and newsgroups. PIA seems to be $80 for 3 years and they have been around for a long time. Some post are suggesting that they belong to a company with government ties and shit. Should I be concerned? There is any other VPN in that price range?

    I’ve used PIA for years and as far as I know they still don’t store any logs.

    Only thing you might be worrisome about is the company that bought them out a few years ago, Kape Technologies.

      If Kape technologies bought them therefore must store something. I dont beleve in free logs, only with mullvad

    I switched from Mullvad to Surfshark (total crap) only for video restrictions. Mullvad doesn’t unlock some services. However for torrenting and general improvement privacy is the best.

    Mullvad is the way to go. Number one on the high seas for a reason. Even with port forwarding going away
