is PIA still a decent VPN? What about torrent clients? I used to use an older version of uTorrent but now I'm on Kubuntu and it has a built in torrent client.
Short answer by making a few assumptions: Don't patronize PIA unless you can't or don't want to pay for better, and the built in torrent client is fine if you're happy with it, but qBittorrent would be a good match with your desktop environment if you want to try something else.
Happy to answer questions in like 10h when i'm awake again lol
I don’t use PIA, but for anyone also wondering, what VPN for you suggest investing a subscription for? Any why?
PIA is owned by Kape Technologies., a dodgy company, founded by a member is Israel’s Intelligence Devision. They’re known to spread malware, steal users data, and redirect traffic to advertisers. That being said, PIA claims that despite being owned by Kape, they remain in control of their day-to-day operations. I haven’t heard of any major issues, since the acquisition. Kape also seems to like the profitability of their (several) VPNs.
Up to you if you trust them with your data. Personally, I do not.

They dont even have hard drives. They use ram only now. Which is quite funny

If only there were a handy resource that covers this....
PIA is pretty shady. I'm only still using them because I paid for multiple years of service and while they're a bad choice for privacy, it does the job of not making my ISP angy.
I signed up for a lifetime price of PIA because it was very cheap and have been using it ever since, but recently I noticed they doubled the charge out of the blue on me with no notice.
