Easy software to set up. The anonymity appears to work well. Disappointing that it cannot overcome geo-specific rules (unable to view BBC-2 from the US).
I am a fairly new customer. I have been using this service for several months and I use it for both, my computers and smartphones. Easy setup, affordable, and reliable - fairly decent speed around 15 - 20 mbps. I would recommend this product to anyone who works from home or travels. In this hyper security conscious environment it is becoming a necessity to take additional steps to protect yourself online.
I've been using Private Internet Access for more than two years and their speed, uptime, and helpful support and updates have made the experience a piece of cake, even with a payment processor switch right before my subscription re-up. Don't listen to the angry negative reviews about payments or service that doesn't work. The vast majority of those people are just confused (or worse). VPN's themselves are way above most peoples' understanding, and apparently so is following instructions.
This service is the best "value for your dollar" that I've seen on the Internet. Not only is it a great price, but you also get service that is unparalleled to any that I've seen. 24/7 support just isn't an option for a lot of companies, but it is here! This service is very reliable. I have yet to have trouble connecting to any of the VPN servers. Highly recommend! Best of the best out there for sure!
Being no geek I was a little anxious about setting a vpn up as some can be tricky. I tried a few already. I have different devices ranging from iOS, ANDROID and a Kindle Fire so ease of use and 24h chat was a huge plus. Speed is great, I live in an area where I'm usually connected to servers in the States. Prices for the different plan options are fair. The only reason I don't give the provider 5 stars is because I tried the monthly plan thinking it would be a month and I could then decide what to do. Well no, you automatically sign up for automatic renewal. That's not right. A U.S. company should not ever have to use this middle age selling technique if they are confident about their service. I was going to upgrade to the year plan but when I received the email from PayPal telling I had just been charged another month it gave me great pause. I still ended up signing up for the year plan and Laura at the chat was very helpful. In 1 click I got a refund for the month subscription and all is well but this is a great way to loose potential customers.
Joined 1 week ago, have a mediocre 50Mbps line, i can only get 10Mbps, although i can get by on it i should get at least half i would suspect, support where bots sending automated replies not answering my questions just giving general crap. Off to find a new provider.
I needed to switch from another VPN provider and on a comparison site read about PIA. I was quite surprised that they had a good review by looking at their website (somehow doesn't give the most professional image). I decided to give it a try and yes! Setup straightforward on Windows 10 x64 (you need trusted drivers and PIA provides them), Linux (OpenVPN config files ready to download in a zip file) and Android phones. VPN services are from great speed and reliable so far. Switching between the servers is very easy and doesn't need a special configuration on the website as other VPN providers do... So yes, I am just satisfied, great price, great product :)
I have been using PIA for some time now, I have to say, anyone that's not quite sure about using this service, I can say without doubt, you will not regret it, the service they provide is superior to all the other company's that I had tried in the past. I had a few problems setting up a dd-wrt router, the support team were amazing and in no time my router was up and running, my whole house is now protected. I highly recommend PIA.
I emailed the billing department on an issue that was related to a rejected bill submitted by PIA to a credit card whose number been changed due to credit card fraud on October 13, 2015. On the very next day (keep in mind we are 9 hours away time-zone wise) I got a response from PIA informing me of the problem. I went to their web site, submitted the new number and had instant connection again. It's a weird world and sometimes stalkers, trolls, etc. either have friends who are web masters, or who are web masters themselves. PIA is an extremely valuable 'self-defense tool' at a bargain of a price. I recommend it.
Reasonable price, reliable, fast speed, and easily set up.
