Private Internet Access
Private Internet Access is a personal VPN service that allows users to connect to multiple locations. Since November 2019, It has been owned by Kape Technologies. Kape Technologies is an Israeli company originally founded in 2011 by an ex-Israeli intelligence officer in Unit 8200 in the IDF under the name Crossrider. The company became associated with ad injection and malware. Around 2017, it rebranded as Kape Technologies. Today, it offers products such as ExpressVPN and CyberGhost.
Between Kape's Technologies history and its connection to the Israeli military, its CEO donating to the IOF, and its owned company ExpressVPN sponsoring the likes of Ben Shapiro, makes Kape Technology, including CypetGhost VPN and all other subsidiaries, an important target for the boycott.
