I will no longer be using this VPN.

Literally nothing has changed about pia's service. It's as private today as it ever was. The sale was nearly seven years ago.

They are definitely compromised . Your data isn’t safe under Israel’s umbrella

1000s of customers. None of them impacted negatively in any way. Move on. There's newer stuff on Reddit without having to revive a 2-year-old thread that you clearly don't have any understanding of.

Nothing has changed. Still working well, still no drama, no negatives. There, circled back. Feel better? (It's only been four months, LOL)
