I started using PIA VPN on firestick about two months ago and I'm pleased with it (you can find more details here
https://www.firesticktricks.com/install-private-internet-access-on-firestick.html). Actually, it differs from the ordinary VPN. First of all, it costs me only $79 for three years. Also, it allows me to connect to the service with as many as ten different devices, with just one subscription plan. I have access to unblocking geo-restrictions for a wide range of streaming platforms, so I can stream as much as I want to. PIA VPN offers maximum security and anonymity when browsing. In addition, there are special features for blocking ads and malware and the use of the WireGuard protocol. I personally really like it.
Back in 2019, PIA was acquired by a company with a long and storied history of malware.
Geo-location blocking can be bypassed with any VPN that has servers in multiple countries, but many streaming platforms are starting to block VPN endpoints so that may be coming to an end soon.
10 devices is a big number. And it's significantly cheaper than any other VPN despite having more servers to connect to. So how do they keep those prices that low?
Before PIA was acquired by KAPE, they had their logs subpoenaed for use in a court case and proved they didn't keep any, as was claimed. But post-acquisition no public case has come out to confirm if that's still the case.
NordVPN and PureVPN have both had logs subpoenaed and have since removed the claim they don't keep logs from their website, which establishes that the practice is to claim you don't keep logs until it's proven that you do.
I personally do not trust PIA if I'm looking for true anonymity. If that's just a bonus, fantastic. If you actually need anonymity (like if you're a reporter wanting to talk to sources that you need to protect), I wouldn't trust it.
