Yeah, pia socks5 is definitely faster for me too, especially when torrenting.
But like you said, no encryption = risky for private stuff. I only use it for gaming or streaming where speed matters more.
If you wanna test speeds, try speedtest.net or fast.com before and after switching. Helps see the difference.
Also, try different pia socks5 servers—some are way better than others.
