Basically I started with mullvad then turned to proton but after they introduced AI and a crypto wallet I’m just looking for what peoples opinions are.

EDIT: Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions :D

Pia is owned by very sketchy Kape Technologies, just FYI.

Yeah but their stack is open source, with no evidence of wrongdoing, and proven no log track record. Their servers have no persistent storage. The threat model isn't the fuckin NSA lol

While PIA Might not have done any wrong doing, Kape Technologies definitely has. Imo, it's not worth funding.

I have a proton subscription but it's not worth the effort to port forward until their app can do it
