I currently use ExpressVPN and find it ok. In the past I’ve used Mullvad and AirVPN and tbh I think they were all fine.
However, I would probably trust a provider more if there has been an actual case where police tried getting the logs and the VPN provider gave them nothing.
For me I really distrust NordVPN because this provider is just so overshilled everywhere - like even on national TV NordVPN have ads, which for me is just a red flag.
Curious here to know what the consensus here is about the different VPN providers.
Isn’t PIA also owned by the guy who bought Freenode?
It was owned by his company (London Trust Media) until Kape bought it in 2019. PIA was $30M in debt, which was probably a big reason for the sale.
