Connection Issues

By Dissapointed Customer01 (Pcmac user)

I don’t know what you guys did on this new update, but now it’s a huge struggle to connect on iPad and iPhone. It’s try...try...try again, over and over and over hoping it will connect. Switching regions is till a 50% chance it will catch. On my Mac Pro it’s produces slow buffering video streaming even at 100mps speed, slow website loading on both Safari and Firefox and major connection issues on iPad and iPhone. Huge disappointment to a customer of 3 years. Sending “slow speed complaint” for the last 3 years weekly has not improved the service at all and is getting very annoying now. This new update put me over the edge to look for a better service. My one year is up in a month and will be looking for a better provider. **UPDATE** Since the new Mac update recently, everything is running beautifully...connection is flawless on Mac. Connection speed is faster, disconnection speed is also faster. The new design is great and have had no problems with this new Mac update. So CHEERS to the nice job. What ever you did to the Mac update needs to be done with iPhone and iPad update. Connection problems still arise when connecting to Canada and Mexico on iPad and iPhone even after iPhone PIA update. I use them because of the lower MS numbers. Thank you for fixing the Mac issues. Here’s hoping fixes will come to iPad and iPhone issues.
When it stays connected I like it

By USCGRgranny (Pcmac user)

Like everyone else, I have huge connection problems. It loses the this app IP regularly and does not reconnect when moving between networks. I have to manually power cycle every time I leave my home wifi. Even if PIA shows connected, if you have the kill switch on, apps and browsing is often blocked because somehow PIA has lost the server. I also experience slow speeds and super long reconnect times for PIA. I'm on cellular right now at a coffee shop, I've been at the same table for an hour, and PIA has lost the this app IP twice and killed my connections. I did fine the first month, then when I purchased the 3yr plan it went south. I thought the reinstall (to change accts) messed with it, but based on reviews and comments it may have simply been unfortunate timing. I really like PIA's philosophy and want to stay with them. But when I have to turn it off to finish my work because I'm having that many problems, I'm forced to consider another. I'll keep trying. I paid for 3 yrs after all. (And to the March 22 reviewer who is annoyed by all the "can't connect" comments: I HAVE "experimented" with the settings. It still doesn't work. I'm glad yours does. Truly. But that doesn't mean mine does.)
Connection issues.

By MusicM237 (Pcmac user)

For the most part this app seems to work great. Unfortunately, it’s not 100%. My biggest issue I seem to have is using Wi-Fi. It doesn’t matter if it’s my home Wi-Fi connection, or my Wi-Fi at work, or any public Wi-Fi. Once I connect to my Wi-Fi at home, the this app will be connected and work fine; but when I leave and I shut the this app off, or even when I leave it on when using mobile data, it tends to not want to reconnect to Wi-Fi, any Wi-Fi. If I have the this app on at home on my Wi-Fi, and then go to work, my phone will not connect to the Wi-Fi at work. The this app will be on, but it won’t connect to the Wi-Fi. If I turn the this app off suddenly it connects to the Wi-Fi. Turn the this app back on and you’re back on LTE. I’ve tried multiple things to try and connect to the Wi-Fi and the this app, and the only thing that works is shutting the phone off and turning it back on. Then when I leave work, whether I turn the this app off or leave it on, when I get home it won’t connect to my home Wi-Fi. I will have the this app on over the LTE, and it won’t connect to my Wi-Fi once again. The only way to connect to the Wi-Fi is to shut the this app off, or once again power off the phone and back on again.
Travel a lot? Use this.

I’ll put it simply, the PIA price point is on target. I have been running it head to head with F-Secure, with PIA being less in price. PIA only suffers from the occassional slow down. So much that I have to toggle off during a VOIP call or while searching for something online. But this happens not very often. I don’t think the competition is perfect either and I’m probbaly being too picky. Also, this isn’t a review of the desktop version, and that is where you will see any performance degredations much easier. PIA is great because it circumvents censorship while travelling ir redirexting your requests to local versions of news stations. When I want US news abroad, this will get me what I need. Are you using Hotel wifi? You need to be Protected. The website covers the rest of the benefits, but again, this product is a must have for a traveller. Compare, let them compete. PIA is worth the money.
