VPN Port Fail vulnerability - current status

"Perfect Privacy tested a sampling of nine top VPNs and notified the five it found to be vulnerable before releasing the news November 26th. But only Ovpn.to and nVPN changed the settings necessary to block Port Fail attacks.

Popular service Private Internet Access (PIA) initially told press it had fixed the issue, but then recanted its statement of a fix. PIA currently has 3093 servers in 35 locations across 24 countries. Lifehacker lists PIA as number one in its "Five Best VPN Service providers," along with TorGuard, which also allows port forwarding but is not vulnerable to the attack."
