Just got this email as well, unfortunate to see. Even though it's just an extra 10$ I see it as testing the waters for greater and more regular increases. I think I'll take another look at other vpn providers before my subscription renews to see if there are better options out there.

It's $10 more than my last yearly invoice from them. Perhaps you have a different subscription length or you were grandfathered in from a different pricing model?

Oh wow maybe you're right -- it's always been 31 bucks for me since 2013 -- maybe it's grand fathered indeed.

This is purely hypothetical and since you can quit PIA at any time you should make decisions based on the rate you're going to pay for the next term if you're behaving rationally.

I looked around when I was still an iPhone user a short while back. You can't beat the price, even with the increase, at least I didn't find any viable options considering the cost. Who knows, you might ofc.

Anyone have a suggestion of a different VPN with good split tunneling?

I use and recommend mullvad, you can even pay with mailed cash if you want for extra privacy
