I think there is something different here.
We at Private Internet Access have walked away from countless buyout offers over the past years for hundreds of millions. Every time it happens, we turn around and donate to another non profit org we appreciate.
I think it’s better advice to say that your threat model should take many things into consideration. Some people are better with a commercial VPN. Some are not. To each person in their own individual circumstance there are different needs. Your blanket advice is dangerous. It is important for everyone to do due diligence, remain skeptical, and do what is right for your threat model.
We are honest and go to work everyday with the challenge of your privacy and the increasing national surveillance state in mind. We could log, but we don't. We are against the concept and our actions have shown we do everything we can to fight the system that would try to have us log, too.
In an open world where software is open source and all users and skeptics can check the source code, you can't say that the McAfee security team is a better team than the entire open source community.
Currently, commercial VPN providers do require trust; and we recognize that. That is why PIA is working to disintermediate that trust - this is our end goal and we are VERY close.
Stay tuned.
