Private Internet Access FAQ

Quick answers to the questions people ask most.

What is Private Internet Access?

Private Internet Access (PIA) is a virtual private network (VPN) service that encrypts your internet connection and routes it through remote servers. This can help protect your online activity on networks such as public Wi-Fi. It is owned by Kape Technologies.

How does a VPN like Private Internet Access work?

A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and a server operated by the VPN provider. Your internet traffic passes through this server, so websites see the server's IP address instead of your own. This can help improve privacy but does not make you completely anonymous.

Which devices and platforms are supported?

PIA offers apps for common platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Browser extensions and manual setup options for some routers are also available. Check the official website for the current list of supported devices and versions.

Does Private Internet Access keep logs of my activity?

PIA states that it follows a no-logs policy. For the exact details of what data is and is not collected, refer to the company's current Privacy Policy on its website. Policies can change, so reviewing the latest version is recommended.

All 12 questions →

How many devices can I use at the same time?

PIA sets a limit on the number of simultaneous device connections per account. The exact number may change over time, so confirm the current limit on the official website or in your account details.

How do I install and set up the app?

Sign up for an account on the PIA website, then download the app for your device from the official site or your device's app store. Log in with your account credentials and choose a server location to connect. Step-by-step guides are available in the PIA support center.

How can I contact Private Internet Access customer support?

PIA provides customer support through its official website, including a help center with guides and a way to submit support requests. Live chat or other contact options may also be offered. Visit the support section of the website for current options and availability.
