WireGuard does not work in Russia. Only OpenVPN. ShadowSOCKS optional
I have been using PIA since 2018. Subscriptions are for 3 years. No auto-renewal (sad). My devices: PC (Windows 11), Notebook (Windows 11), cell phone (Android 14, Android 11), Router ASUS AC68, SmartTV (Module with Yandex TV). My Internet channel is 1GBit. Speedtest by Okla - local servers - 950/950Mbps. Phones constantly work via PIA (messengers, social networks, youtube, twitch, AI clients, games - thanks for port forwarding!). PIA MACE is enabled all the time - it reduces parasitic traffic, especially important on slow mobile internet. I see the development of the client application, stable high connection and download speeds. A many servers in different countries, and ALL as a rule with high uptime (stable). I recommend this app to my friends, and I have already brought real referrals (they each got a month of service! Nice!) Problems: WireGuard is banned in Russia, so I use OpenVPN protocols (Shadowsocks optional). Analytics services see that I use VPN: Tunnel detection (two-way ping); VPN fingerprint (OpenVPN, AES, MAC is SHA512) or IPsec/VPN (MTU 1400). Speeds (up/down): OpenVPN UDP AES256 - 450/450Mbps. OpenVPN + Shadowsocks TCP AES256 - 120/80Mbps.
