What's the best VPN to use with iOS?
I’d give PIA Vpn a hard pass. That might just be my opinion, but it lagged frequently and didn’t support some webs I use on my iOs. A BUMMER. One time it disconnected without warning, and I have no idea how long my activity was exposed. That was it for me. I recently switched to Bamboo VPN on a fami

UK Lords propose ban on VPNs for children
they have other options, you can purchase gift cards, use crypto, bank transfer or cash in post. there's no KYC at all and it's £5.99 for a month pass and you get a code to use as your login with no actual account. it works well is as fast as basically every other vpn and cheaper than allot until yo

Bandwidth issues with strong from g2g
Same here. I’ve been using the service since August 2025. However, from about a week ago until today, between 12:00–14:00 GMT, all channels were buffering, even HD channels. Now at 14:24 GMT, everything started working fine again. Channels like Sky and TNT 4K are playing without issues. I monitored

Bandwidth issues
Glad it's not just me. PIA has been incredibly slow, regardless of what server I'm connected to since about yesterday I think When I try to test speeds on speedtest simultaneously (one of my browsers bypasses the VPN), not even take the actual speeds into account, the non-VPNd browser will run and c

Web traffic throttled or completely blocked but torrents / port-forwarding working fine - why?
I'm just getting horrible speeds across the board recently. On speed tests I typically get ~500Mbps, and not too far below that on large downloads. Today I tested connected to the closest location and I was getting 4Mbs/sec connected to PIA, 568Mbps disconnected. That's not a typo, greater than 99%

Would Wiregaurd give me a better experience over OpenVPN for FPS online gaming on console? If so, I could use some help
Good advice here from others here. I'll mention it's worth reaching out to PIA and requesting they give their users better performance from OpenVPN via the DCO feature - PIA doesn't currently support it, unfortunately, and it would make your performance better without the need to get a new router. I

Is it possible to host a LAN game over PIA?
As mention before, PIA is not that type of VPN. TailScale would be what you are looking for.

Is Private Internet Access worth getting, and how does it compare to the usual commercial VPNs?
Split tunnel for firefox and forks leaks my dns server on win11 but didn't on win10. Support acknowledged the issue but haven't fixed yet since summer I raised the ticket. Also could not help me with an issue on debian that qbt didn't connect to pia's wireguard interface automatically after system r

Gluetun Unhealthy
i recently started having issues with PIA VPN when i had it broadly connecting to us eastern and i ended up switching to a more local city and it fixed it. I'd also love to make mine more of a broad scope again.

A while ago the Adult Swim Twitter account uploaded the series on megaupload. Does anyone still have a link to it?
Pirating without a VPN. PIA VPN wasn't working so I downloaded the new Lilo & Stitch movie. Couple days later I got an email from my ips saying that I got a copyright strike. It's my 2nd one so now I'm worried about getting a 3rd. It's not gonna stop me but I am waiting to build a NAS for my plex se
