PIA is the tinkerer’s choice: granular knobs, proven port forwarding, and a long history with power users. If you like setting your own defaults and squeezing every drop of throughput, the toolkit is here.
The interface can feel dense, yet once it’s dialed in, performance and control are excellent—especially for P2P and self-hosted services. It’s less ‘set and forget’ and more ‘set it your way’.
