So which VPNs and which parent corps?

I wonder if Private Internet Access is still the top offering.

I was one of your volunteer beta testers years ago and provided some feedback. I still get a little salty when I see this app since you still terminated my account and made me pay :) hope you've been well

What industry do you work in that you can let product decide everything with out any engineering input, and also allows you to go 3 weeks without reacting to buisness/shifting priority?

Thank you for your answer! I'm in a similar situation--the channel made it about four months before someone invited (by mistake maybe) a manager.
