Launched in 2010 by entrepreneur Andrew Lee, Private Internet Access (PIA) has worked to become one of the world’s leading VPN providers. Lee’s goal was to “take privacy mainstream”, and to do so, the company has developed a high-end open-source client, providing not only a top-quality service but also an impressive degree of transparency; anyone, anywhere, can verify that PIA does precisely what it says it does.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) masks your IP address and encrypts your internet traffic, making it so that your browsing is hidden from your ISP, network admin, and even your local government. It also allows you to bypass region locks for content that might be hidden on services such as YouTube and Netflix and helps to keep your information safe on less secure networks such as public Wi-Fi.
