Ive been using it seemlessly for years, then today i try to start it and find out im logged out of my account. I dont remember the password and username cause ive never had to.
So i click "forgot password" and type in my email address, and it says it sent the email and takes me to the next step, but ive tried so many times and waited a long time, and im just not getting any email.
Is there some known issues right now or whats going on?
I try to keep PIA running on my Android phone and everything has been fine up until the past day or so. When I go to change any settings the app will disconnect.
I can reconnect by pressing the button, but then the connection will drop anywhere from 5-20 minutes later, forcing me to open the app again and reconnect.
Anyone else getting this? PIA works very well on my Windows 11 desktop but is struggling on my Android phone.
Does PIA not do a periodic quality of service test to make sure that various popular websites will be accessible through their proxy servers?
What makes it especially irritating is not all of the sites with problems going through PIA have issues with the same servers. For example on the Denver server Google and the PIA site and Reddit worked but not Archive. But on Seattle, none work.
If they don't get this all fixed I'll be looking for another VPN that doesn't keep logs.
Your android app has been unusable for years. No update detected.
Just keep crashing and cant open at all.
I am finding that PIA keeps constantly disconnecting, every few mins or when my phone goes to sleep. I have turned on low power mode etc. nothing i do keeps it active. Anyone else having this happen as well?
About a week ago, PIA stopped connecting on a Win10 VM. Today it's refusing to connect on a Win11 VM.
What gives?
When I have PIA running on Windows 11, everything (except torrents) is crazy slow again. This happened before, and I resolved it by switching protocols from OpenVPN to Wireguard. Now it is slow with the Wireguard protocol as well.
We all know a VPN hides your IP. But lately I've realized that's not even half the battle. Websites can fingerprint your browser through canvas, WebGL, fonts, audio context, and a dozen other signals. Change your IP? They still know it's you.
That got me looking into anti‑detect browsers. Does using something like these actually improve privacy for a regular person, or is it overkill (and maybe even a fingerprinting risk itself)? Has anyone here seriously used adspower as part of your privacy setup? How do you personally deal with browser fingerprinting beyond just a VPN and private window?
The last few times I've tried using PIA I've been getting a lot of issues on start up.
When I open the app, I get a never ending loading circle with the only option being "quit". The only way to make this move on is turning off "Internet Protocol Version 6". However, this even happens when that is already off from a previous attempt, I have to manually turn it on and off again next time to get to the login screen.
Now with login (the app used to remember my credentials and auto login). I have to put in my credentials, which I am certain are right, and I get a never ending loading screen at sign in. I haven't worked out how to get past this.
On Android, I can login, but when I try to connect to any location, it attempts it 3 times then fails to connect...
Anyone got any advice here?
Hello, For about a week now, on a countries servers that I use with PIA I am getting reported and warned by trackers. Turns out, with the PIA shows multiple exit IPs when connected to the servers. Trick is that IPleak does not report this.
Does anyone know what is the issue here? How do I solve this problem? Maybe admins can help? :(
Automod doesn't alow me to post picture links...
Sorry in advance for my ignorance on this topic, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. I just discovered rethink dns. Can I use that in conjunction with pia mace on my phone, or would it be redundant?
