- Deloitte confirms PIA’s no-log claims, with servers running on RAM-only system for maximum privacy.
- Independent audit verifies PIA’s infrastructure is not vulnerable to third-party exploitation, ensuring online activity remains private.
- PIA offers full transparency with open-source apps and regular third-party audits, proving its commitment to data protection.
PIA got purchased by Kape Technologies a couple years ago. With their track record, you can choose to believe the report issued by consultants they paid, or you can just go to companies with better track records, like Mozilla VPN or Mullvad.
Seems like an easy choice to me.
I understand the sentiment about the inherent conflict of interest with paying someone to audit your software, but it’s highly unlikely that anyone is going to do that work for free. I’d want some evidence before taking your comment for anything other than opinion/bias. I don’t use any of these products so whatever the reality is doesn’t affect me, it just seems like nuance is too easily lost.
I used Nord VPN after a lot of research when I initially started using them years ago. What have you heard about them?
Personally I don’t trust companies who aggressively advertise like they do, but that’s not a real reason grounded in evidence. It just tends to be correct. I recommend Mullvad.
They didn’t aggressively advertise when I first started using them like 6 years ago. I have yet to see evidence of their no-log policy being broken but it’s hard to trust most companies these days.
To counter some of the other comments, them being based in Panama is a huge plus imo, if you’re inclined to do things deemed illegal by local authorities. They have no incentive to comply with government issued search warrants or the like. Most western country-based companies are legally obligated to comply with those requests, or even store information for a number of years. With quantum-based decryption there’s no saying how long even encrypted data will be safe.
That was my rational too when I initially did my research.
I loved mullvad but they removed port forwarding and now I don’t know where to go sadly.
Yeah, I dunno if I’d trust Deloitte about anything, not to sh!t on PIA’s tech which I have no knowledge of.
This just reads like an ad. There doesn’t seem to be any journalistic value to this article and it’s got a clickbait title. At minimum, it should have noted results for competitors.
How is that a clickbait title?? If this is clickbait, there is no possible title that wouldn’t be…
Remember when Google wasn’t evil?
Nah, it’s time for something other than email that does what email did before but without the ability to spam or inject bad stuff.
Only 1 more year left on my PIA subscription. /sigh
I wonder, is there a way to ensure they work the way they advertise to besides being investigated by the police and observing the result? It has to be blatant in order to force the VPN service to comply if they can.
It’s a case od who do you believe more. The provider or the police.

How to you syslog or net flow to identify malicious actions if you’re not logging?
You don’t, which is why VPN ips get blacklisted so much.
