Private Internet Access
Private Internet Access, a subsidiary of London Trust Media, is based in Denver, Colorado. Not that I don't love Denver, but I'm a bit surprised about their location. I prefer my VPN companies to be located in places where there's no surveillance alliance, such as Panama. Being in the U.S, Private Internet Access is subject to the Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, and 14 Eyes alliances. These are international alliances between countries that make accessing citizens' data legal. The fact that Private Internet Access is based in the U.S is definitely a drawback, as they could be legally forced to give up information. We'll talk more about what data Private Internet Access actually stores in a bit. Here's what else you should know about Private Internet Access- they have over 3,194 servers in 33 countries. The amount of servers, as well as their locations, matters a ton. You want to be as close to a server as possible for a fast Internet connection.
