I just signed up a week ago to try it out. They claim to have a 7-day refund guarantee. After they charged my card for a year's service, I have tried several times to cancel with no response from them. The 8xx number is disconnected. A friend recommended them but I don't share his enthusiasm.
PIA does have a kill switch option in their VPN software that would knock out the internet connection if the VPN cannot connect to their servers.
You know, now that you bring it up, every once in a while SD doesn't allow me on because they effectively say I'm using a VPN. Ironic since I'm using a VPN that SD pimped to me. Maybe SD shouldn't ban products it promotes on it's own site.

I pay $28/year and have been with PIA for about 4 years. Great, easy VPN. I usually use the Florida & Texas servers without any issues.

That's the most I can speak on it without either getting way too technical, or having long convos about why I use one.

There is, I haven't used that though.

I just use the socks5 proxy, so far so good.

Curious how are you getting that price? I bought 2 years from one of the deals here, what do I need to do to get the same pricing, instead of the inflated price of $50 a month.

Anyone ever installed this VPN on a TP-LINK AC1750 router or something similar that would have some helpful tips?

Do you want all your traffic going through a VPN? Which would happen if you install the vpn on the router level.

People use the app to turn it on and off on the computer that needs the vpn.

If that's not a typo and you're paying $50 per month, I would just jump on this deal for an annual price of ~$32. I signed up 2 years ago for 2 years for $60. It just renewed.

Just cancel your account with them and open a new one through this link. They don't require much info and in fact, you can pay them in gift cards.

I recently dropped PIA and would suggest going with a different provider. They recently switched their support team and the last email I sent for assistance didnt get a response for 20 days.

They also switched their servers around so that port forwarding became very difficult.

No need to cancel, just open a new account.

I hate the way they make paying with gift cards. They don't tell you how much a gift card has to have on it for a year of service. Instead you have to give them the numbers and then they'll tell you how much you get. But then you've already shared the goods with them. Not secure for their users. Why can't they just tell you that $50 on a Walmart GC will get you a year instead?
