What is Private Internet Access?
Private Internet Access is a top VPN provider offering secure connections for Android devices. Its VPN app ensures fast speeds and high-level security. It uses open source transparency with VPN protocols like OpenVPN and WireGuard. The service provides IP protection, allowing users to hide their IP address and browse anonymously without storing logs. It directs traffic through a secure WiFi connection and uses strong encryption standards. The VPN supports multiple devices under one subscription and automatically enables the secure connection on unsecured WiFi networks. If the VPN connection fails, the kill switch feature blocks the internet to prevent data leaks. The service has servers across 84 countries and includes a free Email Breach Monitor. Users can try it with a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money back guarantee. Private Internet Access provides a resource library, email support, and 24/7 live chat. It is GDPR compatible and only collects usernames, encrypted passwords, and emails during signup.

Comments and Reviews
Needs more likes... great and reliable service. There's also a standalone linux client rather than having to setup with openvpn. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/1940/pia-vpn-app-linux-beta
PIA is gross. I do not recommend them. I feel bad i ever had a 5 star review up for them. They are not safe, and the are not private. Good luck with your port forwarding. lol also they engage in shady affiliate marketing practices.
Killswitch is placebo. Needs software firewall like expressvpn or ivpn.
An excellent application available on several iOS, Android, Windows and OSx platforms, I recommend it for its simplicity and competitive price
Sh1t client on windows and android: qt wrapper with ruby. Ugh
Reroutes torrent traffic.
No software firewall to protect traffic on drop.
Slightly less awesome than torguard.
Do not pay full price. Find a promo code.
I went on a road trip and decided that i needed the privacy of a VPN for the hotels and roadside cafés that i would be using for internet access. It worked great for the weeks i was on the road. Strangely, i am home and finishing up my subscription, and now i am getting errors - ruby crashes and i have to reboot! Was i just lucky on the road?
Cheap, easy to use and, crucially, one of the very few -maybe the only - VPN service whose servers were confiscated (in Russia) and were found to be telling the truth: they don't keep any logs about your browsing. Plus, their software is now open source. Win. Win. Win. Win.
I love PIA because of its amazing Linux client. Speed is OK (sometimes good) and the price is very reasonable (about $35/year). All in all, PIA is the best choice for me.
