About

Fast, Secure, and Private Browsing

With Private Internet Access (PIA), you can defeat censorship, unblock websites, and browse with ease. Our proxy extension masks your browser’s IP address by acting as an intermediary between your device and the internet, and provides a fast, borderless online experience with unlimited bandwidth.


Key Benefits of the PIA Proxy Extension

Unblock global content – Freely access websites, bypass restrictions, and enjoy a borderless Internet
Fast, secure connection – Enjoy high-speed browsing with no slowdowns
Unlimited traffic & bandwidth – No caps, no limits
Easy to use – One-click on/off switch for instant proxy protection


What You Get With PIA’s Chrome Extension

Global Servers – Choose from 44 locations in 27 countries for optimal browsing speed
No-Logs Policy – We never track, store, or log your online activity—your privacy is our policy
Sort Servers by Latency – Find the fastest connection in seconds
Custom Whitelist – Allow specific websites to bypass the proxy if needed

Why Choose Private Internet Access?
🔹 Proven No-Logs Policy – Independently audited & court-proven
🔹 Open Source & Transparent – Fully open-source VPN apps
🔹 High Speed & Unlimited Bandwidth – No buffering, no throttling


“PIA's Chrome extension is worth installing on your browser even if you already have the app on your device. It offers some neat features that browser extensions of other VPNs don’t have.” Cybernews
Of all the VPNs out there, Private Internet Access (better known as PIA) offers the best deal. Howtogeek.com
“...if you need a VPN that absolutely nails all of the core things you need to do and don’t want to spend too much, PIA is perfect.” TechRadar

Important Note:
The PIA Chrome extension is a secure proxy. It does not offer the same level of protection as our VPN service and should not be relied on for equivalent security.  
For full online protection, including advanced features and encryption across all apps and devices, we recommend using our PIA VPN desktop and mobile solutions, available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
