My VPN plan is up for renewal, and I'd like to move from my current provider (Privado) to one that supports port forwarding while maintaining access to a SOCKS5 service.

AirVPN would have been my choice, but doesn't have SOCKS5.

Private Internet Access checks off the boxes but I'm not familiar with the company behind it.

Thanks for the help and recommendations.

PIA is probably fine until there's legitimate evidence demonstrating they aren't, there are only baseless accusations at present based on who owns them

    I use PIA because they're the only ones who support split tunnel and port forwarding on my OS. My torrent client and some chat apps run through the tunnel and everything else is bypassed. I'd use TOR on top of it if I wanted to do anything truly dodgy, which I don't.

    i know probably nobody wants to hear that, but PIA is dead to me since they sponsored fucking fascist Gab a few years back.
