“PIA's Chrome extension is worth installing on your browser even if you already have the app on your device. It offers some neat features that browser extensions of other VPNs don’t have.” Cybernews
Of all the VPNs out there, Private Internet Access (better known as PIA) offers the best deal. Howtogeek.com
“...if you need a VPN that absolutely nails all of the core things you need to do and don’t want to spend too much, PIA is perfect.” TechRadar
Important Note:
The PIA Chrome extension is a secure proxy. It does not offer the same level of protection as our VPN service and should not be relied on for equivalent security.
For full online protection, including advanced features and encryption across all apps and devices, we recommend using our PIA VPN desktop and mobile solutions, available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

- (2024-01-15) kremennik: The extension doesn't work 90% of the time, whereas the desktop client works fine on the same machine
- (2023-11-09) йуйцуйцу йцуйцуйуц: Don't work in Russia
- (2023-11-08) Lam Nguyen Vu: I like PIA but it seems like it doesn't work well with Youtube. When I add youtube url to bypass list, I'm unable to play videos, it just keeps loading.. Everything is fine when I disconnect the VPN or when I remove youtube from bypass list. Is this extension fully compatible to Microsoft Edge?
- (2023-11-02) Celinda Spencer: The app works fine, though not being able to bypass specific urls is a very missing feature. That is possible in the extension... which is unusable, because it logs me out on random intervals ranging from a few hours to a few seconds.
- (2023-10-26) RACA MACAFO: добавьте в расширения для мозилы оперы и гугла настройки shadowsocks и работу через прокси,как в основном клиенте
- (2023-10-22) Zaheer Babar: I have start using today in my chrome as an extension and uptill now it is working good. The shifting is instant....
- (2023-10-18) Gene Geanie: До вчерашнего дня прекрасно работало, сейчас уже больше суток не работает никак, сколько бы настроек я не пыталась бы менять. Служба поддержки у них недоступна без VPN, что иронично.
- (2023-10-18) 1 2: больше не работает в России, не покупайте
- (2023-10-17) DARK CITY _beta: Всё отлично работало потом перестало. Походу и его заблочили =(
- (2023-10-06) motoshi “M IWAI” iwai: 拡張機能からでは日本のNetflixが見れません。 windows版やIOSやAndroidでは見れます。 windows版のアプリから接続すると日本のサーバーは100くいらいあり、そのうち半分くらいは日本のNetflixを見ることが出来ますが、拡張機能からだと日本のNetflixを見れるサーバーに繋がらないようになっています。 拡張機能がなぜこのような仕様になっているのか疑問です。 スピードが早いのに非常に残念です。 Private Internet Accessの評価は★5ですが拡張機能の評価は★1です。 次のアップデートに期待です。
- (2023-09-21) M Box: The extentsion works well with a lot of user settings available.
- (2023-09-18) Sergey Syrtsev (Mugnum): Very happy with it so far (~1 month). No idea whether things will change down the line (like speed being throttled after refund period or some BS like that). - Server switching is instant. - Connection speed itself is quite decent, latency is negligible. - No device limit, meaning I can use it across different machines and browsers (including work PC). - Provides forwarding up to 1 port on desktop, which can be handy for torrents and such. - The browser extension itself is also very polished and thought through, for instance, in just a couple clicks allowing your to bypass/whitelist certain domains (like ones with high traffic or intranet-restricted). - Quite cheap as far as VPNs go, with wide choice of payment methods (including QIWI and crypto, in case you're into that sort of thing). That said, there have been some hickups lately -- where instead of loading websites, it would show their logo and say that internet connection was interrupted or something, but switching servers usually resolves the issue. Besides, it's probably something on my end anyway... All in all, it's night and day difference compared to using various janky free proxies to access blocked sites and services, and you get a whole sleeve of extra features with it.
- (2023-09-18) David Blankfield: Worked like a charm for the last 2 years, though just recently, in the last several weeks... Logging me out at random, across multiple chrome profiles, for some unknown reason. Would really be nice to get an answer from the team on this.
- (2023-09-11) Andrey Yarmolenko: Ideal!
- (2023-09-06) SHYHRAT IKROMOV: Нет пробного периода
- (2023-08-27) Сер Ник: Мне нравится. Устойчиво. многофункционально( расширение, приложение, разные операционные системы) скорость не сильно проседает, но иногда бывает.
- (2023-08-26) Иалсо Талсл: все шикарно работает. пользуюсь платной версией и ей очень доволен. ничем не хуже других впн
- (2023-08-19) Sarah Bettis: Highly Recommended
- (2023-07-28) De D.: I've been using PIA for about 4 years and I love it. It just does what it is suppose to do, plain and simple!!
- (2023-07-16) mad hatter: Highly recomended PIA best vpn been using well over 6 years. most issues are caused by computer configuration or having installed some other vpns or even browser settings.
- (2023-07-09) ap er: платная шняга
- (2023-07-06) Tommy Lankut: The best VPN, I can see some people say that this is not good ?????? Then they must be working for other VPN companies..... Because this works every time perfect :-)
- (2023-07-04) Белоцерковский Виталий: Super B. Gracia
- (2023-06-04) Free delsole: Почему в расширении нет многих локаций? Нет Украины, Казахстана, Армении и др.? Подписку приобретаешь, а получаешь кастрированный сервис...
- (2023-06-02) Наталья D: В расширении присутствуют не все серверы, многих нет. Это проблема для меня.
- (2023-05-20) Ielysey: "Забыли пароль? Купить учетную запись" - это о чем вообще ? Непревзойденная защита ? Скоро буду матом крыть таких непревзойдёнщиков !
- (2023-04-29) Jim Pietruszka: I've been using PIA for over a year now. Initially I had some computer connectivity issues and server connection issues. Frustrating, but after troubleshooting I found that the issues were caused by my computer configuration. Before PIA I had installed a number of security apps that did parts of a VPN's job and after installing PIA I did not uninstall those apps and conflicts resulted. After uninstalling those apps AND disabling some Chrome features (Secure DNS) the conflicts were resolved. PIA now works great and is a consistent performer. By the way the Ghostery app works well with PIA.
- (2023-04-21) Bogdan Litvak: Worked ok for 2 years, now it logged me out and doesn't work as an extension for 1 month already. Company seems to be not interested in fixing at all.
- (2023-04-17) Skales Mallets: it's amazing but it do log me out most time unnoticed
- (2023-04-03) Clippy Msoft: Lots of "ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED" errors after not using the browser for a few hours. Attempting to reconnect to the same server gives the same result, but connecting to another server often works. This should be handled automagically
- (2023-03-02) Asia: Кот в мешке
- (2023-03-02) Katarina Rostova (bozdrick): The service was working fine until last week, it has become very bad. There are always errors and problems in entering the site and activating the account. Unfortunately, the company renewed the account automatically for a full year, but despite that, the service does not work and I do not benefit from it now. I am now using the free Windscribe service and it is excellent and far better.
- (2023-02-22) Cristian Diacu: Best software without saving any logs.
- (2023-02-21) Alex Stahl: Servers are basically permanently offline since the buyout, most websites in incognito mode won't connect till you disable it, defeating the point.
- (2023-01-01) Дмитрий Лукашевич: все отлично и с кучей настроек
- (2022-12-30) prophet babyja: good thing
- (2022-12-30) Augusto Pinochet: when it works its good. try harder to keep your servers online
- (2022-12-28) David Santana: cannot log in
- (2022-12-24) Bromos Dew: Пока полёт отличный, купил на 3 года. Посмотрим как оно будет работать.
- (2022-12-16) Justin: terrible extension, will always completely lose connection regardless of which server you pick. The desktop app/regular program is great, but this extension is awful and not reliable
- (2022-12-16) ADRENELINEDUDE: Literally can't even log in, getting 403 errors for weeks.
- (2022-12-13) David Quinteros: Horrible extension. I've been having problem to log in on different websites, cookies blocked from trustable sources, and websites not loading at all, even with the extension off. As soon as I disable it, all the issues with my browser got fixed. Again, horrible extension, I regret buying this VPN.
- (2022-12-02) IG 88: Great tool, the browser plugin makes anonymous research easy.
- (2022-11-27) Iczelion Shimatsu: Really easy to use. Quick connect without noticable problem. Works like a charm. Highly recommended.
- (2022-11-22) Oliver: Login request returned an unexpected server response (500 )
- (2022-11-21) Tom Schultz: I can confirm, the Chrome extension still gives you ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED. I just subscribed for Black Friday deal, even though I was PIA customer in the past and had the same problem. Rather pay more for NordVPN even though it doesn't have port forwarding.
- (2022-11-21) Eragon Talesweaver: Worst VPN extension. I have tried different paid and free extensions and this has to be the worst. As others mention connecting to any server might not work after connecting, and even if it does you will get errors shortly after like Connection error net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED
- (2022-11-19) Alex Lada: Нажимаю кнопку "отключить", она перезагружается и снова загорается зеленым.
- (2022-11-17) 戮吽嗒: mac 客户端不能用,苹果手机端不能用,浏览器插件也不能用,彻底封死了,会员白买了。
- (2022-11-06) Jijo Fuitre: muy lento no es recomendable
