That means that they are under 'safe harbour'
And that also means that Snowden's ex bosses has already sifted the traffic before ([HTML_REMOVED] after) it arrives at their servers.

If you are looking to obscure your traffic from sovereign nations you will need to take additional steps.

There has been a resurgence of Yoda-speak since the latest Star Wars movie. Haiku just makes it a bit better :)

My force is weak and I'm still working on it :)

Can PIA be configured at the router so that it doesn't have to be configured on every device?

Not sure but it is dead easy to do on each device, and now you need to turn the VPN on and off to access Netflix. So better to have individual control?

If it requires installing software, then it's not going to work on devices like a smart TV.

If it requires a separate router than what the ISP provides, then that's a bit of a pain.

Lots of reviews say the throughput of PIA isn't great, and that there can be throttling.

Interesting article today on CBC.

I tried every US location on PIA, none work for Netflix. The golden days of Netflix streaming appear to be over.
