This is the problem with several privacy companies and one that we don’t take lightly. At Private Internet, we are heavily focused on research and, specifically, have been focused on creating service architectures that limit or remove the need for trust altogether. That is what Zero Trust and Zero Access are about, and it’s the only direction we are heading. That’s why, for example, we launched private.sh, a search engine that you don’t need to trust.

That being said I do want to mention, most VPN companies won’t sign a binding agreement not to log - whereas our partners at KAPE signed an entire binding mission statement which you can find here:

It doesn't seem very trustworthy when the whole page talks about how much they value privacy, then the video at the bottom of the page requires you to enter an email address to watch it.

Also no https://

This is the kicker here. Nothing else matters.

A business dedicated to privacy is completely incompetent if they can’t even use HTTPS.

I cancelled my sub minutes after learning about the news. I would hope the PIA engineer can see through what buyout propaganda they are being fed and see the writing on the wall.

The user seemed to only omit HTTPS. It certainly is configured for SSL.

The company is still incompetent if they're not forcing that HTTP request to HTTPS.

Server sided redirection mistake. Most likely crappy developers were hired, or they don't care about their website in general.

Incompetent seems a bit harsh. Sloppy or careless is more accurate

[Jamwinner]

Defaulting*, forcing it can ocasionally be an issue.

I'm cancelling mine because of this as well. Your bank should know enough to keep locks on it's doors...
