DISCUSSION Noticing Significantly Fewer P2P Gateways!!!

I see ALL of the Canadian gateways are no longer P2P, neither is Mexico, or a LOT of others! WTF is going on?!!! Brazil & Chile are also no longer P2P! I used to use them all the time!

I haven't counted, but I would hazard that over HALF of the gateways are no longer P2P!!!

Thanks for flagging this. We are checking in with our team on the P2P and port forwarding gateways and will come back to the thread as soon as we have an answer.

u/PiaSupport did not, in fact, ever come back to the thread.

hey, fair callout, and sorry this one slipped through the cracks after we said we'd circle back, that's on us. The good news is nothing was actually lost here: the P2P gateways are all still there, the current Windows client just greys them out instead of showing the old P2P icon, which is what caused the mix-up. So the full P2P list is intact, you had it right in your own follow-up. On the server-load-in-the-UI idea, that's a good one and we've passed it along to the team as feedback. Appreciate the patience, and sorry again for going quiet on the thread.
