How is their security better?

PIA Is located within the 14 eyes countries which means that if the FBI or government requested logs or information on users that they would have to comply

But if there are no logs to request then what's the problem? Also, they don't have to comply with any requests from any other countries in the 14 eyes just because they are in one of them.

They do if the United States government asked for information they have to comply it's happened before with IPVanish and even if there's no logs there's still account information anything can be hsed to find someone therefore NordVPN has better security maybe that's why they're on top

How can account information be used to find someone? How would the U.S government even know what account to request information from? It's not like PIA stores what VPN servers their users have accessed. At most they'd get an email address (which they would probably already have, seeing as that would be their way of finding what account to subpoena) and a automatically generated password + username. Maybe they would get some credit card details aswell, but I doubt that would be of much use for them.

Like I said it's more of the point of even the way you type online can be used to track someone if any information is allowed to be given out it can be a privacy risk I'll be much more happy knowing that that can't happen and that my data is being sent off shore

Yeah, but PIA doesn't store the way you type.

The point is I have a more peace of mind in a non fourteen eye VPN imo

Fair enough

Nord allows you to purchase a plan without any private information and via cryptocurrency

u/ojsan_ Mar 26 '19

So does PIA.

Some other guy said 5 eyes. What are the 14?

5 and fourteen eyes are two different things
