What is Private Internet Access

Use the Internet securely with this convenient privacy tool.

Private Internet Access is a VPN program that encrypts and anonymizes your Internet connection. It makes your browsing experience more secure and even lets you unlock websites or online services that are banned on your network or not available in your country.

The software and the Private Internet Access VPN service that powers it are famous for their quality, as they have received many awards and have been mentioned numerous times by some of the leading technology websites. In addition to being available on Windows, apps are provided for other platforms, such as macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can use up to five devices on your VPN account.

Very Easy to Use VPN Software

One of the biggest advantages of Private Internet Access is that it's very easy to use. Installing it takes only a couple of minutes and the installer will automatically set up all of the components on your system, so no configuration is necessary. All that you have to do is to enter your user name and password to get started.

Private Internet Access comes with a robust and large network of servers from all over the world. You can use the software to get an IP address from many different countries, which is great if you need to access content that is only available in a certain part of the world. The VPN servers are generally very fast, so you shouldn't experience any performance problems, even if you play video games or watch streaming videos. Also, Private Internet Access allows you to use P2P file sharing networks, making it a great choice if you frequently BitTorrent to download files.

Unblock Access to the Websites You Want to See

One of the main reasons why people use a VPN program is to get access to websites that are either blocked on their network or in their country. With Private Internet Access, you'll have access to everything that the Internet has to offer, including social media sites, media streaming services, file sharing sites, discussion forums and more.

However, some online services like Netflix have recently began to block IP addresses associated with known VPN servers. Therefore, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to access all websites, even if you use Private Internet Access.

Private Internet Access Creators Take Privacy and Security Seriously

The developers of Private Internet Access care about creating a more secure and private Internet. They don't maintain any logs of the websites you access through the service and allow payments through anonymous methods like Bitcoin and prepaid cards. The software also comes with a built-in malware and ad blocker, which makes your Internet browsing safer, faster and more pleasant.
