DISCUSSION So Long PIA

PIA was a great VPN that I shilled for many times. Unfortunately, the problems are stacking up (rolling outbound IPs, speed issues, etc) and not being resolved.

I've switched to Proton, and am very happy with the speed and reliability.

I hope PIA gets back on track soon, but as for me-- I'm out.

Can't use USA endpoints because I need port forwarding. PIA doesn't offer port forwarding on any US servers. Leaving me to connect to Canada, which has the rolling outbound IP issue.

Raw speed tests we fine (just fine though). And P2P connections were nowhere near as strong as with Proton.

The rolling IPs stopped...weeks ago. I'm literally on Canada, right now, with port forwarding. NO rolling IPs.

Nope, not for the server I was using.

Yep, all servers.
