Seems to me that telling a private VPN provider who you are kind of defeats the purpose of a private VPN. Even if the provider has no intention of telling the Chinese Government your name, if they get cracked into, your dead.

Can you still get visa debit cards that are "refillable" with cash? Or did the international banking community shut down that avenue?

I suppose there's always bitcoin...

That I don't know, last time I looked they still took gift cards (even ones for Walmart etc), bitcoin would be fine by me. Oh I just scrolled down for a bit. So yeah looks like they still take them.

the PIA thing, that went missing recently is their servers list...and I couldn't find their servers names,
like before... just by typing PIA servers and they ware popping out..

And their customer service is 50/50 random shot you will get to decent guys...to help you out...
so, if you look for help...don't look for help Razz Confused Rolling Eyes their online guides are also kind of a mess, unless you know where to look...

if anyone still knows where to find their servers info, plz share Razz Razz

Thanks, I know their how to's etc are out of date, couldn't find anything except, their servers are no longer privateinternetaccess, just privacy... That was a few months ago anyway. was in a reddit thing. I may change providers, I knew when they got bought out this crap would happen. https://torrentfreak.com/private-internet-access-to-be-acquired-by-kape/
