VPN solution built for Chrome
Private Internet Access (PIA) is a professional virtual private network commonly used by people who browse with Google Chrome. A VPN lets you reach sites that might otherwise be inaccessible because of local restrictions, and it helps conceal your online activity. Many users rely on these servers to stream or download media and to add a stronger layer of protection when handling confidential data.
Core capabilities
- Instant on/off toggle for the VPN so you can enable protection quickly when joining an unsecured network.
- Domain whitelist that lets specified websites bypass the VPN when needed.
- Ability to organize servers by latency so you can choose the fastest available gateway.
- Protections to prevent WebRTC-related address leaks while browsing.
How to get started
Install the client, enter your account credentials, and the service will be ready to use immediately. This fast setup is particularly helpful when connecting to public Wi‑Fi hotspots or other untrusted networks, where you’ll want encryption and privacy right away.
Extra benefits and service details
- Support for connecting up to five devices simultaneously.
- No limits on bandwidth — you can stream and download without data caps.
- No in-app purchases or intrusive pop-ups; the provider markets itself as a one-time payment model that grants continued access thereafter.
