"Is PIA Proxy Still the Best Choice for Privacy and Speed?"

Hey folks, been using pia proxy for a while now and gotta say, it’s been solid for most stuff. But is it *still* the king of privacy and speed?

Pro: Speeds are decent, no major throttling. Privacy-wise, their no-logs policy seems legit (so far).

Con: Some servers can be hit or miss, especially during peak times. And yeah, it’s not as "underground" as it used to be—more mainstream now.

Anyone else noticed changes? Or am I just being paranoid?

Also, how’s it holding up for streaming? Tried Netflix and it’s... *meh*.

Drop your thoughts!
PIA proxy is still pretty good, but I’ve noticed Mullvad giving it a run for its money lately.

Speed-wise, PIA holds up, but Mullvad’s consistency is insane—no drops, even during peak hours.

For privacy, both claim no-logs, but Mullvad’s cash payment option is next-level anonymous.

Streaming? Yeah, PIA struggles with Netflix. Try Windscribe—their "Windflix" servers are built for bypassing geo-blocks.
Honestly, PIA proxy feels like it’s coasting on its rep.

Speeds are *okay*, but ProtonVPN blows it outta the water for both privacy *and* speed. Plus, Proton’s Swiss-based, so stricter privacy laws.

Downside? More expensive. But if you’re serious about security, it’s worth it.

For streaming, NordVPN’s my go-to. Works like a charm with Netflix.
PIA’s still solid, but it’s not the *only* option anymore.

I switched to Surfshark last year—cheaper, unlimited devices, and way better for streaming.

Privacy? Same no-logs policy, plus they’re based in the British Virgin Islands (good for avoiding data laws).

PIA’s not bad, but Surfshark’s just... smoother.
Man, PIA proxy was my ride-or-die for years, but lately? Meh.

Speeds are inconsistent, and their server list feels outdated.

Switched to ExpressVPN and holy crap—way faster, better for streaming, and their TrustedServer tech is legit.

PIA’s still *good*, but "best"? Nah. Not anymore.
PIA’s privacy claims are solid, but speed’s a gamble.

If you’re after raw speed, check out IPVanish. Their US servers are *fast*, and they own their infrastructure (unlike PIA).

Downside? Fewer privacy features. But if speed’s your priority, it’s a winner.

For Netflix, though, you’re better off with ExpressVPN.
PIA proxy’s fine, but it’s not the king anymore.

For privacy freaks, Tor over VPN (with PIA) works, but it’s slow as hell.

Speed-wise, CyberGhost’s optimized servers are way better for streaming.

PIA’s not *bad*, but it’s just... average now.
Yo, thanks for all the replies! Didn’t realize how much the game’s changed.

Gonna test out Mullvad and Surfshark based on your recs—especially for streaming.

PIA proxy’s served me well, but sounds like it’s time to upgrade.

Anyone got a promo code for Mullvad? Lol.
PIA’s still decent, but the competition’s caught up.

Windscribe’s free plan alone beats PIA in some areas—better speeds, and their "ROBERT" feature blocks ads/trackers.

Paid? Mullvad or ProtonVPN.

PIA’s not terrible, but it’s not the *best* anymore.
PIA proxy’s a mixed bag now.

Good: Cheap, reliable privacy.
Bad: Speeds are hit-or-miss, and streaming’s a pain.

If you’re just browsing, it’s fine. But for anything heavy-duty, like torrenting or streaming, go with NordVPN.

PIA’s okay, but "best"? Nah.
