I’ve been using pia socks5 for a while now, and it’s a mixed bag.
Sometimes it’s *insanely* fast, like 2x my regular VPN speed. Other times, it’s barely better.
For privacy, I just stick to the full VPN. But for Netflix? Socks5 all the way.
Pro tip: Use a tool like PingPlotter to check latency. Helps figure out if the slowdown is on your end or PIA’s.
