Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
The guy that owns private internet access bought freenode and basically killed it. And fuck all vpn services for that matter.

I totally agree that PIA is owned by a horrible company and is not exactly the greatest VPN but its port forwarding is crucial if you have any intention on staying compliant with private torrent community rules.(you must be connectable). Tell me of another VPN provider that provides this for a good price? Also, self hosting a vpn is the best idea except for if you are torrenting copyrighted material on it; don’t try that on any vps providers.
