Private Internet Access review

Private Internet Access, usually called PIA, offers a lot for little money if you commit for years. The longest plan works out to $2.03 a month and renews at $81.20 every three years, a renewal price the page states clearly. The 1-year plan is $3.99 a month. Every plan allows unlimited simultaneous devices, and servers span 113 countries. Add-ons include antivirus and a dedicated IP. The apps expose more connection settings than most rivals, which experienced users will like and beginners may find cluttered. The monthly plan at $11.95 is poor value next to the long plans. PIA is a good fit for people who want unlimited devices for the lowest long-term cost and are comfortable with a few more settings.

Who it is for
