always check points and CB sites when signing up for VPNs, often big kickbacks

It's for 24 months so comes out to $71 and some pennies. I have a over a year left on my Nord or I'd be on this. As of now the best "brand name" VPN is Proton.

Been using it since black friday last year and has worked pretty well. Typically good speeds and can stream using it too, which is a problem for some VPNs.

I had to open in Private window to see the $2.99/month ($4.99 in regular window). However, anyone know what happens if you have an existing account? My current sub doesn't expire until June 2026.

I got Proton VPN a couple months ago. Previously used Private Internet Access for 10 years.

My experience with both is centered around torrenting:

Both PIA VPN and Proton VPN offer 'split tunneling' which I prefer to keep web traffic unprotected and faster. But the implementation is different.

- PIA VPN app somehow binds to the app .exe defined in the prevent/allow traffic list ensuring the app only uses the VPN tunnel, if no VPN connection is active, the app cannot connect. Contrast to Proton, you also have a list for the inclusion/exclusion into the tunnel, but if the VPN session is not active, the app could just use any default adapter/gateway (unprotected). This is a great feature in favor of PIA. Or workaround: some apps like qBittorrent allow the user to specify to bind to a Adapter (VPN).
- PIA VPN has a persistent "port forwarding" lease for a week or so. If you constantly disconnect/reconnect from the VPN server and use torrenting, this could be a good thing as you don't have to constantly update the port on torrent client. Or it could be bad, as your persistent port from PIA may leak a bit about your fingerprint.

- Both offer WireGuard.

Overall:
- PIA VPN app workflow, settings and usage is much easier to understand.
- Proton VPN offers more complex configurations, the connection profiles are messy and the entire UX is not very intuitive. Bigger learning curve.
