Private Internet Access features:

- IP Cloaking. Your IP address will be changed to a Private Internet Access IP address to hide your identity and location. Hide your IP address to stop data trackers, snoopers, and hackers from tracking your real browsing and search activity. Changing your IP address allows you to blend in with the crowd.

Editorial Reviews:

Private Internet Access VPN has been featured in Wired, PC Magazine, HowToGeek, Lifehacker, Business Insider, TorrentFreak, and more!

\"Private Internet Access, one of Lifehacker readers' favorite VPN service providers, makes it easy to surf privately and securely from anywhere.\" – Lifehacker.com

\"There have been several Editors' Choice VPN services recently, as one product tops the next, but Private Internet Access out-performs and out-features the competition. With 4.5 stars, Private Internet Access sets the bar high and is truly the Editors' Choice, trumping all our previous favorites.\" -- PC Magazine

“When shopping for a VPN service, it is recommended to find a service that does not log its customers’ traffic and prevents an anonymity-unmasking issue known as IPv6 leakage. Private Internet Access carries that level of security.” – Wired.com

“To that end, we highly recommend Private Internet Access- a great VPN provider that we’re not only recommended before, but use ourselves.” – HowToGeek.com

Lam Nguyen Vu (ID: 00000061f306f608) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/08/2023 I like PIA but it seems like it doesn't work well with Youtube. When I add youtube url to bypass list, I'm unable to play videos, it just keeps loading.. Everything is fine when I disconnect the VPN or when I remove youtube from bypass list. Is this extension fully compatible to Microsoft Edge?

Celinda Spencer (ID: 0000007abf9dbf8f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/02/2023 The app works fine, though not being able to bypass specific urls is a very missing feature. That is possible in the extension... which is unusable, because it logs me out on random intervals ranging from a few hours to a few seconds.
