PIA works with OpenVPN, their Windows app was (maybe still is) just a pretty interface on top of OpenVPN, but the trust has nothing to do with the client imo, it lies more in trusting them when they say thry don't do any logging or eagerly cooperate with adversaries. They xlaim they don't log, but how do I prove that?
I do trust them, and I have used them, but I prefer “trust, but verify.” It’s also just the right thing to do, going open source.
Yeah true. Also by open sourcing the chrome extension maybe someone can port this to Firefox. I think it should be relatively easy after the recent move by Firefox to webextensions.
