I have mixed feelings here. I totally recommend PIA as a service but not this add on.
Use the actual PIA Client and give this add-on a WIDE berth, it will NOT protect you and WILL reveal your IP address to anybody who is interested. Put bluntly, it just does not work reliably (if at all sometimes).

Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn`t, (yet reports that it is connected). - A simple IP lookup reveals all.

Proof:-

https://imgur.com/HnLFbIn (`connected` to london server, but IP lookup showing my Static IP).

https://imgur.com/T6b4mM7 (`connected` to California Server, but again showing my home IP).

A VPN is supposed to anonamize you as one of its primary functions and its clear that with this add-on, the VPN is sometimes not even being connected at all. The most worrying issue is that it reports as being `connected` yet clearly isn`t, which misleads you into thinking you are being protected, when in actuality , you are not.. When first downloaded, this IP look up test (and other similar services), accurately showed the VPN servers IP when tested, but a random test showed it had failed. I guess its possible that reloading the add-on may cure the issue, but whats to stop it failing again? Its not something I would feel happy relying on.

Hello, we'd like to remedy this issue as quick as possible. Is there some steps that you could send us to replicate this issue?

Could you also send us the version of the extension you are using?

Works OK most of the time, but the connection just dies occasionally requiring switching to a different server. This can result in multiple active logins (ie Facebook). Desperately needs a kill-switch feature to block traffic when the VPN proxy server connection fails. Also needs an option to autostart the VPN with the browser startup.
Over-all it does what I need, but plenty of room for improved reliability and features.

This addon has never worked on firefox. For over 3 years. no issues with it on unix or windows but as an extension in browers never worked.

A number of updates over the last year or so have removed servers from the available list until today there is only one server. The speed it bad and you constantly have to change servers to keep your connection working. You get logged out all the time. Use a different service.

Simply the best. This is the serious team that protects your anonymity and privacy. I am a very long long user and in my opinion there is no competitor in the field in this price.

I have been using PIA for 1 year. Love it. A lot of flexibility.

I am very pleased with the quality and effectiveness of this add -on. It is very helpful and complements the PIA VPN program (application). It has several options that strengthen anonymity on the Internet.

This plugin causes conflicts with my Hikvision camera plugin. I can display my two cameras on the web gui when this plugin is disabled. However, when this plugin is enabled it interferes and causes the video window to be too large and offset to the right (so the second camera is not visible).

Always goes down for extended periods of time. It shows it's connected but you can't load pages. Sometimes reinstalling gets it working again but only lasts a short while.

Servers frequently drop out and stop working, and when that's not the issue it completely messes up and "Fails to Authenticate" forcing me to have to resign in. It's a bloody unreliable hassle that has been happening for the past year.

Why is it that EVERY SINGLE TIME I start up this addon I have to flip through the entire list of regions 10-20 times just to find 1 working connection?
