You never know ;)

So have y'all heard any more about the cat fight between PIA-cofounder
rasengan and ProtonVPN? The protonmail account on HN basically claimed
that PIA cooperates with the Chinese government.[0] And that this
accounts for the fact that the GFW wasn't blocking PIA as thoroughly as
other VPN services.

And that presumably triggered rasengan's attack on ProtonVPN and
NordVPN.[0,1] He's criticized both for failing to disclose connections
to Tesonet. And he's characterized Tesonet as a data-mining service,
riffing on their competitive-intelligence pitch.

Tesonet is apparently an enterprise VPN service, in Vilnius, which
focuses on B2B competitive intelligence. So maybe the allegations
regarding ProtonVPN and NordVPN are misleading. I mean, Tesonet is
serving data miners, but is arguably not data-mining its own customers.
And any VPN service could data-mine its customers ;)

But it is quite the cat fight :)

And really, it'd be amusing if PIA actually were China-centric. That'd
arguably make them _more_ secure for those concerned about the NSA.
