Review of VPNs, Proton on Top
PIA and ExpressVPN are owned by an Israeli corporation (parent company Kape Techologies). I'd rather trust Satan with my data than either of those.

This seems kind of bad...
Came here for the list of VPNs Israeli companies control. Edit: Thank you. Cancelled PIA.

VPN cancelou meu plano porque eu deixei torrent semeando
VPN só se usa Proton, Mullvad, ou PIA. Não tem nenhuma outra com a mesma reputaçã que essas 3. O governo Sueco já até invadiu os escritórios da Mullvad para confiscar dados de criminosos que usaram a VPN deles, e não tinha o que confiscar, porque eles não guardam nada, e o que passa por lá está crip

Someone doesn't understand HTTPS in 2026
Well, PIA, ExpressVPN and Cyber Ghost are all owned by the same company. The same company that was well-known for distributing malware and adware before their rebrand in 2018.

PIA was a sponsor in recent ShortCircuit video
To be fair PIA is owned by British-Israeli company Kape Technologies, which also owns ExpressVPN and has a shady history. Not saying that's worse, just pointing it out.

Best VPN for iPhone and iPad to Change Location?
I’ve been using PIA myself, and it works great for Minecraft, my ping only goes up by about 10ms with the VPN on. I haven’t tested it with any other game yet, so I can’t say how it performs there.

"Anyone who criticizes us is our enemy. We will monitor you with Google, find your weaknesses, get you fired... if you have a business, we will bankrupt it.
Anything owned by Kape, including ExpressVPN, PIA and Cyberghost, is compromised by Israel. I use ProtonVPN, majority-owned by a non-profit in Switzerland.

What did I do wrong? (Copyright claim)
Proton and AirVPN are commonly recommended, PIA also has port forwarding, but look into the ownership of that one and make sure that you are comfortable with it before committing.
