- (2025-07-11) Robin Katz: Horrible customer service. Application is not user friendly.
- (2025-07-03) kaya sakongsa: very limited country even on paid version
- (2025-07-02) Deborah Awosika: Good,it works perfectly but kindly increase the locations. It is limited on extension compared to the app
- (2025-06-03) Hugo Moors: Top extension, top service
- (2025-05-19) Roger Albin: It doesn't appear that PIA has a GUI interface for the install and setup of the PIA app for the HP Chromebook. So far all they seem to be able to provide is an coded app of many pages of coding to install on the HP Chromebook. And... they keep trying to get me to install the Android app version to a Linux based Chromebook. Guess my only option is to go to NordVPN...
- (2025-05-18) Alessandro Blue: 99% of the time it disconnects after 30 sec-1minute and you appear offline so it's useless and it's a pain to use
- (2025-04-24) Alan Johnston: It works great!
- (2025-04-21) Bruce Lee: I've been using this VPN for years, always satisfied, easy setup and userfriendly. sometimes connection gets lost but when you switch to another server it usually resolves the issue. very cheap when you take the 3 year subscription. i use it on every device i have. As far as i know they don't keep logs, you can setup a subscription anonymously and pay with even crypto. very important if you respect you're privacy.
- (2025-04-08) null: The service is pretty much unusable recently, I connect to Tokyo and face ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED errors. Sometimes switching to another country will work but that doesn't help me become Japanese.
- (2025-03-23) Marko Mõisa: For some reason, it disconnects at any time. Rather not recommended
- (2025-03-21) Adrian S: When it's on, some sites don't work, but the biggest problem is that it's missing all of Latin American countries.
- (2025-03-13) Shedrack Eze: Excellent VPN, I love it!
- (2025-02-18) Arun Chitnis: I haven't had any complaints over all the years I've been using PIA. It does everything I need it to and works across all my devices. I've tried others but didn't like them as much as this one. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best
- (2025-01-25) Dennis Faas: The browser extension constantly disconnects and has been getting worse over the last couple of weeks. I get disconnected about 5+ times in 15 minutes. It is completely unusable. On top of that it keeps asking me for a login and password every time it disconnects even though I told it to remember me when I initially installed it. FIX IT PLEASE.
- (2025-01-25) POLL ENTERTAINMENT: so use full vpn ever... thanks PIA team..
- (2025-01-05) Serg: The VPN itself works well and is generally stable when used with OpenVPN or the dedicated application. However, the browser extension is highly problematic. It logs out randomly, offers far fewer server options, and has a critical flaw that makes it unusable for me. When the extension is enabled in Microsoft Edge or Chrome, the browser automatically redirects all HTTP sites to HTTPS. This behavior prevents me from accessing essential home devices like my UPS, VOIP adapter, router, and others, as they don't support HTTPS connections. Please address this issue to make the extension functional in such scenarios.
- (2024-12-20) Brandt Stones: strong and reliable vpn, really love it!!
- (2024-12-12) Dominic Steavu: Been using for 10+ years. Works perfectly. Appreciate the unlimited device feature. Very awesome. Thank you PIA!
- (2024-11-27) Rafer Warne: I have to manually turn the VPN on every time I turn on the computer. Why is there no setting to have it turn on on startup like there is on the Android app? This seems like a huge oversight to me. There is also a pop up that frequently pops up asking me to log in to the individual servers. I do not understand why this occurs, the extension already has my login information. Please fix these issues.
- (2024-11-22) German: I like it.
- (2024-11-15) Nokel Claa: While the vpn service works, the chrome addon rarely works as expected.
- (2024-11-13) Ehsan Enayati: Simple,Fast And Easy.
- (2024-11-10) Ali CH: every time connecting problem waste money and time
- (2024-11-05) Gt Gt: good vpn thanks
- (2024-10-19) James J: this extensions is easily hacked if not purposefully designed for tracking spying. my entire pc was recording via this app &another chrome extension. stick with regular .exe's
- (2024-10-14) Eduard David ademian: I was disappointed because the message too many login attempts always appeared. even though I correctly entered the username and password. I have 5 accounts also experiencing the same thing. after I waited 2500 seconds. When I tried to log in again it came back and I had to wait 1300 seconds, this VPN is really bad. changes must be made immediately. I request that PIA remove this notification feature immediately.
- (2024-10-02) seomilwork usa: please come back
- (2024-09-21) Bon Vivant: Same problem as all the others here, Doesn't work. Constantly logs itself out and has a repetitive login pop-up again and again. Works only for browsing static sites.
- (2024-09-21) Panagiotis Papadopoulos: Works perfectly, east and fast connetion, reliable too. Lots of server/countries options.
- (2024-09-20) test test: Bad, constantly getting disconnected.
- (2024-09-12) Charline Regolina: This was great, but it seems to no longer stay connected reliably. If they are going to have such terrible reliability, they could at least implement an in-browser kill switch that would stop network access if it is not connected to their VPN. This is so upsetting!!!!
- (2024-09-12) Alex Hernandez: Love this service and have been using it for many years. Unfortunately I started having trouble with this plugin when it got upgraded to V4. It no longer automatically connects when I start the browser like it used to. Also, as others have mentioned it will indicate a dropped connection at random times (orange icon), however if I open the extension most of the time it will still show as being connected and switch the icon back to green.
- (2024-09-07) Legened1000: I can't login
- (2024-09-02) Matt DeKok (Sillvva): I can't login. All I get is Login request returned an unexpected server response (500)
- (2024-08-26) shopifyexpert team: Good and easy to use
- (2024-08-21) গল্পের ঘুম বাবু: pia vpn extension chicago location are not working. when i select chicago , extension provide me new york ip.😫. please solve this problem fast.
- (2024-08-14) Steve Feinstein: It's stopped working on Microsoft Edge. Used to work fine. Now you click on the button to login after entering the username and password and it does not do anything. Works fine in Chrome. But I don't use Chrome, and there's no Edge specific version. No bueno!
- (2024-08-06) manoj manoj: Keeps logging off every 5-10 seconds. Very Frustrating
- (2024-08-05) S W: Terrible extension. Feels like it isn't maintained or something. Currently, the listed servers are between 3000-3500ms latency. When I use a private browser window, PIA tries to make me log back in through a Chrome pop-up "...proxy.privateinternetbrowsing.com:80" which I do not trust, becuase I am already logged in via the app.. Connection drops often. Android app is almost as bad as the Chrome app. Windows app is the only thing that seems to work well. I will not be renewing my subsctiption.
- (2024-08-04) Mark Robson: Keeps logging me out, requiring me to re-enter credentials every 30minutes or so. Often stops working until I manually re-connect to a different server.
- (2024-08-03) Ben Visbeek: Not showen the correct connection. Not clear what country connected. Not easy to find best connections!
- (2024-08-02) Carlos Morais: I need to insert my credentials every 10 minutes
- (2024-08-01) Surena: been using it for two years, it's hecking amazing :)
- (2024-07-27) riggis madzudzo: It's paid,
- (2024-07-24) MotorHome Family: shocked that i cant connect to multiple ips on one device, i have to use virtual PC for work and need a different IP
- (2024-07-24) Thomas K: terrible, no support for multiple ips on one same device, its 2024, who would eliminate this if its the main reason people get VPN, how would you be able to use a chrome extension to watch Tv in one country while your local connection remains local., terrible company cause it worked for weeks until two days ago.
- (2024-07-23) William Dougherty: Your latest update broke http on localhost, cost me an hour :(
- (2024-07-16) Tanya English: For anyone getting an error message and the extension asking for you to log in, there is now a Chromebook app. I connected using the app, but kept the extension and it's fine. No idea if it will revert to what it was doing before, but so far it's working.
- (2024-06-27) jx: To those people that are getting a connection error when trying to login try disabling your adblocker once you are logged in it should work fine just reenable after that. My concern now is it is not mv3 and chrome is going to disable mv2 ext. soon.
- (2024-06-26) Jerimiah: Works great. One issue is Google Voice wont work properly is PIA is enabled even if not Not connected to VPN. Disabling it fixes the issue.
