They’re just losing points for the design of their app. We’re giving the point to ExpressVPN here.īut this doesn’t mean that PIA isn’t user-friendly, by any measure. And that makes it more difficult to navigate.ĮxpressVPN’s app, on the other hand, is straightforward, clearly laid-out and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. I find that PIA’s app is not very clearly laid-out.
While 10 simultaneous connections are better than 5, I don’t feel it’s enough to give them the edge (and an Opera browser extension won’t do much to change that). Let’s see how ExpressVPN and Private Internet Access compare on speed. But it shouldn’t be dramatic, especially if connecting to a server that is geographically close to your actual location. However, when shopping for a commercial VPN, you want to find one that won’t bog down the bandwidth you’re paying for.Ī VPN will inevitably cause some slowdown, due to the encryption’s overhead. Speed is important – with or without a VPN. Let’s go through their respective offerings to see if we can’t set them apart. I'm expecting a tie between these two providers, as they both tick many of the same boxes (good boxes). Spoiler: they had no data to share to begin with.
Whereas PIA proved their commitment to their no-logging policy, by not sharing customer data with law enforcement - even when subpoenaed. And this greatly reduces the potential attack surface. This means that everything runs in volatile memory (RAM).
They both provide native applications for all major operating systems and supply a VPN Kill Switch in their apps.ĮxpressVPN distinguishes itself by its use of diskless infrastructure. They both adhere to a strict no-logging policy. This means they both offer industry-standard encryption. Over a 30 Mbps Network (Upload): 26.91 MbpsĪ These are both well-known VPN providers with good reputations in the VPN space. Over a 30 Mbps Network (Upload): 25.05 Mbps Over a 60 Mbps Network (Download): 60.76 Mbps Over a 100 Mbps Network (Download): 94.35 Mbps IKEv2, OpenVPN, WireGuard, L2TP/IPSec, PPTP
