    Which is why VPN services that actually want to honor their claims, but also not have legal trouble, usually cost more to justify investing in infrastructure that actually allows for both of these things to be true.

    ExpressVPN, for instance, migrated every single server to be entirely held on RAM. Your session ends, that data is gone. So if they are forced by a govermental body to provide your data, they can comply, but the only data they’ll have is whatever you typed in to create an account and pay for it.

      After looking it up, apparently private internet access also stores everything in ram. Thats pretty intresting and a very clever way to avoid giving logs to anyone. Thanks for sharing.

        PIA has had a pretty great track record over its life time, I had no problems with their service for the years I used it, but it’s current owners are a little hard to trust.
