I really like PIA

pale2hall

Not sure where to post this, but I really love PIA. I have a Verizon FiOS Gigabit connection in Pennsylvania, and don't even realize I have PIA running.  It makes no noticeable impact on my speeds.

 

I run an eCommerce business, and I have white-listed my own IP addresses for our administration panel, and just got the 403 Forbidden page because I forgot to disable my VPN.  This means I had PIA running while playing CS:GO, and while downloading a game on steam, and got >200 Mbps d/l, and had no idea it was running.

Bottom line:  As a lurker and subscriber of LTT, I really support your choice to carry PIA as a sponsor.

My PIA experience has been the same as the free virus VPNs. I have to turn it off for games, it makes YouTube very unreliable, if I'm moving from one wifi AP to another it takes frustratingly long to connect again. This is on a 100 down connection and the server set to my country. I'm not sure how common my experience is
