Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the service for its reliability, high speeds, and excellent user experience, noting its effectiveness in maintaining privacy and security. Many appreciate the intuitive and user-friendly interface, along with features like port forwarding and a wide selection of servers. The pricing is frequently highlighted as affordable, especially for multi-year subscriptions, making it a great value. However, some customers also noted occasional issues with website functionality, experiencing difficulties or finding it less polished than other aspects of the service. A few users also mentioned that while the service generally performs well, there were instances of limited transfer rates on certain distant or even nearby VPN servers, although this was not a consistent experience.

Their VPN gateways are genuine and legit. They stay strong undetected by any geofencing systems/trackers. This is the utmost essential feature for me and PIA has been making my day, everyday for a few years now.
Some other providers mixes up the legit and fake gateways making it abundant and doesn't play clean.

PIA Experience

I have been a PIA user for over 10 years and plan to continue. I have a dedicated IP, anti-malware, and 50GB of storage with pCloud included free. PIA also supports WireGuard. What more could I ask for? Great value for the money. PIA's reliability is outstanding.

PIA REVIEW 2026

I have used PIA for several years now. They are an excellent VPN software company. I have no issues at all with their sites and services. I love how we can add 10 devices at no additional charge! I also enjoy discounts on new subscriptions. Way to go PIA!!!

It's a seamless experience that just works.

Using PIA has been a completely seamless experience; it just works. I use it to keep my data more private from data brokers and trackers, and even to appear to visit sites from anywhere in the world so I don't have to log in and have my data compiled by data brokers. I also like to view content not simply intended for my own geographic area. I've been using PIA for about five years now and I highly recommend this service.

Phenomenal Experience

The software works better than NordVPN's. My experience with NordVPN was that it kept crashing, and PIA hasn't once.

PIA's tunneling feature also works flawlessly, allowing me to play my games normally while having everything else run through the VPN.

My overall experience is real good and I will recommend this product to other people
