    Proton VPN vs Private Internet Access Comments

    I've switched to ProtonVPN - it is my belief, because it's almost impossible to prove, that the people behind ProtonVPN (and ProtonMail) are the most trustworthy. I believe this product is least likely to give away your information. - I am open to changing that opinion if someone has factual information to the contrary.
