Quick heads up: PIA now shows up in the Mac category of the Mac App Store.

If you're a Mac user, the app's actually been downloadable there since late May, but only if you switched over to the "iPhone & iPad" tab. As of last week, it's in the main Mac category, so it comes up in the default search results without you hunting for it.

Under the hood, it's the same iOS/iPad app, now compiled and optimized for Mac, easier to find and properly tuned for the platform. Grab it here: https://bit.ly/pia-mac

We’ve expanded PIA’s Streaming Optimized network from 13 locations to 35, adding dedicated options in 22 more countries.

The new locations are:

Americas: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico
Europe: Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland
Asia Pacific: New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan
Middle East & Africa: Israel, South Africa

A lot of these countries already had standard PIA locations. What’s changed is that they now have a dedicated Streaming Optimized option in the app, making it easier to find a location intended for streaming without working through the full server list.

The expansion has been made possible as we continue upgrading PIA’s network and more locations become technically ready to support the Streaming Optimized setup. We prioritised countries with established local streaming markets that didn’t already have a dedicated option.

You can find the new locations by opening the PIA app and searching for “Streaming” in the location list. They’re included with existing PIA subscriptions, with no separate streaming plan required.
