Its usually USD $45 per year.
You can cancel the subscription after buying, and it will remain in service until it expires (thats what i usually do).
You can also pay with gift cards, but I do not know how it works.

Secure VPN Account
Encrypted WiFi
P2P and VoIP Support
PPTP, OpenVPN and L2TP/IPSec
5 devices simultaneously
Multiple VPN Gateways
Unlimited Bandwidth
SOCKS5 Proxy Included
No traffic logs
Instant Setup

I've been using them for 2 years. Great service.

    Followed the link, it says 39.95 US - how do you get 31.95?

  • Telios on 10/06/2015 - 13:04

    Same, followed the link, no clear indication of how to get it for $31.95 a year (I'm already subscribed but not yearly).

    Did you screw up OP or did you forget the code or something?

  • Raspberet on 10/06/2015 - 13:07

    Weird. I got $31.95

    • Raspberet on 10/06/2015 - 13:16

      Should I update the link with this?

      • richie83 on 10/06/2015 - 13:42

        I would think so. It's a 'targeted' offer, but doesn't have a token so anyone can use it.

  • skirulz on 10/06/2015 - 13:13

    What do u mean by cancelling the service and it remains active for until it expires?

    • Raspberet on 10/06/2015 - 13:15

      Cancelling the subscription, not the service

    • Geek Girl on 10/06/2015 - 13:24

      It sets up a recurring yearly payment. So you keep the account and cancel the recurrence, although it sets up the recurring payment for $31.95, so it's a good deal for next year. I'm not going to cancel the recurring payment.

    I've been with PIA for just under a year now. I used to get 1mb/s download easily from their servers (ADSL2+) previously but recently I haven't been able to get any higher than 250kb/s. Has anyone else experienced a slowdown or is it just me?

    • mr626 on 10/06/2015 - 13:45

      Speed can vary a bit between servers, might be worth trying a different one.

    • Geek Girl on 10/06/2015 - 14:26

      Having just set it up, I'm testing it now. I can get a maximum speed of 1.6 MB/sec and for the most part I'm getting between 1.2-1.5 MB/sec.

      Have you read the setup guide for the application you're using? Perhaps you need to set it to use a socks proxy for maximum speed.

    • wreckedandjealous on 10/06/2015 - 16:10

      I signed up about a month ago..
      when I signed up I did a speed test.

      Without PIA: 1.4MB/s
      PIA Sydney: 1.2MB/S
      PIA Japan (use this to watch footy): 600KB/s

      after the first week, I now only get a maximium of 200KB/s on all servers… usually speed test doesnt even load.

    • blackfalcon53 on 10/06/2015 - 23:21

      I generally get good speeds, just tested it.

      PIA ON: 9.36 Mb/S Down and 0.45 Up.
      PIA OFF: 30.92 Mb/S Down and 0.73 Up.

      • DrStinge on 11/06/2015 - 00:04

        What server are you using?

        • blackfalcon53 on 11/06/2015 - 11:28

          Hmm that was the automatic choice one. But it said it was located in San Fran on Speed Test.

    Many thanks. Just purchased, concurrently using with AirVPN which ends in a month. Price of PIA is much more competitive, will see if the service is as good as AirVPN.

    • OzFrugie on 12/06/2015 - 01:48

      how do you find AirVPN? And vs PIA?
      I am considering to join AirVPN..

      Does PIA or AirVPN support Synology NAS?

  • LurvinOZB on 10/06/2015 - 14:34

    PIA is a US BASED provider, any concerns on privacy details of customers? Any views?

    hoping to find a provider that supports flashed router, my current Witopia doesn't.

      They don't keep logs, if that helps. https://torrentfreak.com/anonymous-vpn-service-provider-revi…

      • [Deactivated] on 10/06/2015 - 14:57

        No they've claim they don't keep logs.
        The NSA or FBI can force them to not only keep logs, but to compell them to say they don't.

        Don't do anything dodgy & I'd be careful even using it for obtaining copyrighted material.

          They're called National Security letters

          There's plenty of comment from EFF, ACLU and security expert & NSA critic Bruce Schneier, along with the Snowden documents.

          @Diji1: From your link:

          A national security letter (NSL) is an administrative subpoena issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in authorized national security investigations "to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities" (i.e., spying).

          By law, NSLs can request only non-content information, for example, transactional records and phone numbers dialed.

          Doesn't look like it gives them the ability to go after copyright infringements.

          +3

          @Diji1:

          Yes so obvious that you have ENTIRELY misinterpreted your own linked article.

          A national security letter compels companies to hand over information. Since the US has no mandatory data retention laws, VPN providers are not forced to log. So companies don't log and also wont have anything to hand over.

          Also I just asked a question to back up the initial claim and you jump in with such disrespect.. Is your life that empty that you need little thrills like this to vindicate your sad existence?

          @MrFunSocks:

          Just because it says one thing, doesn't make the reality more likely. They have used that letter to do whatever they want to in the past. Back door hacking, jacking, all that crap.

        • BargainCowboy on 03/07/2015 - 08:49

          I find it hard to believe NSA and/or FBI will get involved with copyright infringement. They're probably only tracking down pedos.

      • Cluster on 11/06/2015 - 13:41
        +1

        They claim they don't keep logs, but you be sure that when (not if) someone commits a serious crime using the service, the VPN provider will forward logs and billing information to the relevant authority.

        Always assume your internet use can be monitored.

        "But they really promised they wouldn't keep logs!" doesn't really hold up in court.

        • nedski on 11/06/2015 - 13:52
          -1

          But if it comes out in court that they did actually in fact keep logs then their business is destroyed.

          It would also have to come out in court to prove that X used Y VPN IP.

      You can set it up with a router running DD-WRT.

      • LurvinOZB on 11/06/2015 - 15:31

        Thanks, that is the intent … getting a flashed router with pre-configured DD-WRT from Flashed Router and going with a compatible VPN provider.

        • bennythejet on 11/06/2015 - 17:42

          It's simple enough to flash a compatible router yourself. I followed a tutorial on the DD-WRT website to successfully flash my Netgear WNDR3800.

      • spiev on 11/06/2015 - 18:28

        Heads up that setting it on a router level requires a good router CPU. You will be capped to a certain speed if your router isn't fast enough.

        For the especially keen, you can pick up a dual core router like the Netgear Nighthawk R7000.

  • nedski on 10/06/2015 - 15:13

    I am with them and have no issues setting this VPN up on my Ubuntu media server and using it for Torrents.

        You could probably ask them to make it 4 years for $59 else you'll cancel. Just mention the stack social deal. They seem pretty keen for the sale! :|
