That's a bummer. I've had PIA for almost 8 years straight, it's been rock solid. I can count on one hand the number of issues I've had with them.
Granted, their headless Linux program, piactl, is finicky and not well documented. But once you get it dialed in, configured right, it just works.
Use it on my phone, laptop, several connections open at once, no problems 🤷♂️
Edit: Just read the second half of your comment. What's your problem exactly? Maybe I've ran into it before, no promises haha
I can go into more detail after work but if you Google PIA keeps disconnecting, I have tried basically every fix that doesn't involve regedit or cmd. I'm using the windows GUI, you think it'd be somewhat idiot proof. I have my torrent client tied to the virtual adapter as well so the torrent crashes every time it drops.
That sucks. Unfortunately I've never run it in Windows. I've run mostly Linux on everything for years now, I'm down to one never-used Windows desktop, and a VM on proxmox that I keep up to run a handful of critical windows-only programs.
I'm not sure I'd be much help to you
