Private Internet Access stopped releasing source code for recent versions of its clients.

These days, free and open source software clients are table stakes for a VPN to be considered trustworthy. The fact that PIA silently stopped releasing source code after previously promising to do so is a major red flag.

You don't need to use their client. Just grab a config and use an OpenVPN or WireGuard client instead.
