Private Internet Access

I’d give PIA Vpn a hard pass. That might just be my opinion, but it lagged frequently and didn’t support some webs I use on my iOs. A BUMMER. One time it disconnected without warning, and I have no idea how long my activity was exposed. That was it for me. I recently switched to Bamboo VPN on a fami

they have other options, you can purchase gift cards, use crypto, bank transfer or cash in post. there's no KYC at all and it's £5.99 for a month pass and you get a code to use as your login with no actual account. it works well is as fast as basically every other vpn and cheaper than allot until yo

Same here. I’ve been using the service since August 2025. However, from about a week ago until today, between 12:00–14:00 GMT, all channels were buffering, even HD channels. Now at 14:24 GMT, everything started working fine again. Channels like Sky and TNT 4K are playing without issues. I monitored

Pirating without a VPN. PIA VPN wasn't working so I downloaded the new Lilo & Stitch movie. Couple days later I got an email from my ips saying that I got a copyright strike. It's my 2nd one so now I'm worried about getting a 3rd. It's not gonna stop me but I am waiting to build a NAS for my plex se

Glad it's not just me. PIA has been incredibly slow, regardless of what server I'm connected to since about yesterday I think When I try to test speeds on speedtest simultaneously (one of my browsers bypasses the VPN), not even take the actual speeds into account, the non-VPNd browser will run and c

I'm just getting horrible speeds across the board recently. On speed tests I typically get ~500Mbps, and not too far below that on large downloads. Today I tested connected to the closest location and I was getting 4Mbs/sec connected to PIA, 568Mbps disconnected. That's not a typo, greater than 99%

Good advice here from others here. I'll mention it's worth reaching out to PIA and requesting they give their users better performance from OpenVPN via the DCO feature - PIA doesn't currently support it, unfortunately, and it would make your performance better without the need to get a new router. I

As mention before, PIA is not that type of VPN. TailScale would be what you are looking for.

I have never had any luck with PIA VPN to access geoblocked content. I will always just get locked out of the service entirely.

Hi, it looks like the tutamail login doesn't work at all (or is extremely sluggish) when I'm using my VPN. I have to disable my (PIA) VPN, login and then re-enable my VPN. Is there a reason for this? It seems odd that a privacy-friendly email service would block VPN access.
