## Reviews

### "Can't be beat for the cost" — 5.0/5

> **Dave** | *27 September 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Excellent connectivity, ease of use, reliability
> 
> **Cons**: Not every endpoint allows port forwarding
> 
> Using PIA for several years and it has been super reliable with excellent speeds for the price I paid.

### "High speed VPN" — 4.0/5

> **Ruthis** | *9 December 2023* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: PIA VPN offers high speed connexions. I recommand it
> 
> **Cons**: I faced some delays when try to connect it sometimes

-----

### "NOT Reliable DEDICATED IP Services" — 1.0/5

> **Sergio** | *26 January 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simply to install and apps easy to use. Cost can be compared to the other players on the market.
> 
> **Cons**: VPN with dedicated IP.  Absoluteley not reliable.
> 
> If you are looking for a professional dedicated / static IP VPN services stay away from PIA. We notified a few problems (dedicated IP in Frankfurt non accessible) a couple of weeks ago and it is still pending.

### "A Decent Cheap VPN, With Sometimes Spotty Service" — 4.0/5

> **Sascha** | *8 October 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: PIA VPN is one of the more affordable options, especially if you sign up for one of their 3 year deals.
PIA also appears to value user privacy and has a no tracking policy
Works well as a VPN for accessing region specific content and shopping deals
Well designed VPN app with features like Split Tunneling and a Kill Switch.
> 
> **Cons**: I have found PIA VPN to often have spotty service. Most of the time it works ok for normal browsing, but there are often long periods of slow speeds or connectivity issues, usually across multiple servers.

The mobile app is pretty flakey, so don't expect to use PIA on your phone.
> 
> I've been using PIA for over a year now, and for the most part I'm happy with it, though it can sometimes be slow or have connectivity issues.

When this happens I usually have to turn off the VPN and connect directly through my ISP, it's annoying, but not a deal breaker. I guess you get what you pay for, but with the very affordable price of the 3 year plan it's a reasonable tradeoff. 

The app itself seems well designed and has a lot of configuration options. Examples include connection protocol, support for split tunneling, a kill switch to prevent specific apps or the entire OS from connecting over the ISP connection, etc.

### "A solid VPN choice well worth the cost" — 5.0/5

> **Davide** | *4 April 2024* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This VPN just works, it’s as simple as installing the app, creating an account (fully anonymously if you want to go to such lengths) and use it. Ping times and speed have been good throughout the first month, there is plenty of servers from all around the world, and it’s easy and quick to setup without too many bells and whistles (partly a pro and partly maybe a con)
> 
> **Cons**: The apps are a bit rudimentary but your not supposed to look at them for more than a few seconds, many times just the time of a couple of clicks. I did not appreciate the subscription being set to auto renew by default and having to disable that by accessing my online account (never mentioned in the setup / buying process) and not through the app - one needs to go a bit of a great length to notice it and disable it.
> 
> PIA VPN is cheap but it simply works out of the box and has been pretty solid. However, I decided to move to another provider with a more relatable business ethic and because I wanted its whole ecosystem. This decision wasn’t motivated by any PIA’s shortcoming, I just found a more comprehensive offer. Customer care has been quite quick and helpful to refund me, although they tried to talk me back into the product despite a clear and dry intention to get the 30-days no question asked refund
