Private Internet Access Review

I’ve tried a few VPNs over the years. PIA is excellent so far. Speed hasn’t taken a hit at all on the US server I use. On some tests it’s better than not using it. I like the complete anonymity and the price is spectacular.

I don’t use their client software as I’m using Viscosity (which is a rock solid replacement for Tunnelblick) plus DNSCrypt. VPN clients don’t always play nice with DNSCrypt and it takes a little bit of work to get the setup with Viscosity to work, but it does. BTW I had to figure that out on my own as I couldn’t find any solution on the ‘net. And that was when I using a different VPN that had much slower speeds (ProXPN).

Also nice that there is an iOS profile to use. Wish it would stay connected like Onavo does regardless of being on WiFi or Cellular.

I’m in the UK and have been with these guys since May! Apart from a few initial niggles and problems that were dealt with speedily and politely I have nothing but praise for this company! PIA was the 6th VPN service I tried before deciding I was home!

Don’t understand all the neg reviews, unless, as stated above, they are falsely planted by jealous rivals.

Fucking horrible provider. After hearing so much about them I though, yeah why not.

Linux client?!?! PIA just gives a .sh that installs network manager in ubuntu. THIS IS NOT A LINUX CLIENT

PIA is a waste of time and money. They have bad software, NO knowledgebase to speak of. I’ve been in IT

for 10+ years and had a seriously hard time getting this to run. Once I did I was dissapointed to see

they have barely any locations and the VPN speed is not that great.

I’m asking for a refund as I already found a better provider.

I am using Private Internet Access right now. It works well and being in the US means they dont have to log. All those other commenters are bs, and I wouldnt be surprised if they were made by the other vpn companies.

The speeds and reliability and support is good for the money.

But they are registered in the USA so this ‘we don’t log or share things’ talk is hogwash. Any VPN provider in the USA has an obligation to work with the authorities (the Patriot Act) so this is as anonymous as HMA (non-existent).
