The proxy feature works very well, but unfortunately the addon comes with a bunch of other nonsense.

It presumes to block sites and take control of Firefox's tracking settings, while doing a poor job of it.

It would be a much more useful addon if it would stick just to managing proxy servers and leave the other stuff it trie to do to other addons that are much better at it.

Website whitelisting does absolutely nothing

Doesnt function as it should. When I turn it on it requests login on every single tab individually. Useless.

Private Internet Access has worked very well for me. I use it on Linux, Android, and Windows without any issues. I like that the app is frequently updated. Most of all, I appreciate that PIA doesn't keep any logs. I value my privacy.

PIA is thee best as far as a VPN goes. I trust them and have used them for a few years now. Definitely worth it, price is good as well. Check them out if you have not.

This addon has had issues for months now. Finally fed up with it not working, I decided to clear out everything in firefox - Including cookies, cache, the works. Full wipe and reinstall.

The addon began working again. It connects, stays connected, and everything seems great. The PIA website says you're protected.

Unfortunately, you're not. Checking ipleak, the addon - while now functional - is leaking residential DNS all over the place. No matter what server or settings applied, it will leak your local DNS.

I'm tired of using the Windows app since it interferes with a lot of the games I play. I just want the firefox addon to work before I'm forced to move to Mullvad.

Current status: Leaky DNS.

This problem, as always, does not affect Chromium based browsers such as Brave.

I'm pretty confused as to why the ratings are so bad, honestly. That's because I didn't even get the vpn for the right reasons. Not for anything bad, but I just didn't actually need one, but since I paid for it and waited too long for the refund, I'm glad, cause now I use it on every device I have, and use it for marketing to view search results from other locations. I've never had one problem. I used to have problems with connection or even using apps like filezilla or networking problems all the time with other vpns.

The problem with this company, like a lot of VPN companies, is that they try to be too smart and wind up breaking functionality and losing settings on apps. This app is no exception.

It was working just fine, why break it? I'll probably unsubscribe soon.

Update: The extension is now working properly with Firefox. I changed the star rating appropriately.
-------------------------------------------------
I am a frequent and long-time user of PIA. It works well with native clients on all platforms and with the Chrome Extension. However, even with help from PIA Customer Support, I never got it running on Firefox. I tried many computers, many versions, fresh installed copies of everything, but it always hung during connect.

PIA works fine, just not yet on Firefox.

Totally broken, does not connect to any of the listed proxies.

Addon not working, giving you false sense of security, company sold to some well-known ad sellers 3 months ago, beware

As it stands 04/04/2019 its broken with Firefox, disconnects randomly, doesn’t auto connect on Firefox reboot or start and shows enabled but doesn’t connect clicking the addon shows this.

Using containers makes the previous window go to an error screen, so I have to navigate back each time I open a link which opens a page in a container.

Literally does not work. It says "Connected" but it is not. When I try to turn it off or change servers, it hangs on "Disconnecting" and never actually disconnects, eventually returning to the false "Connected" state.

Still busted, get it together PIA

EDIT: mostly fixed, still a bit flaky on status in tooltip (doesn't match actual status, which you have to click on the icon to get)

It's been over a month and they have yet to fix this stupid proxy popup. Have gone as far as reaching out to their support to get lame responses.

Works again!

НЕ РАБОТАЕТ ЭТА XYNHЯ!!!! НЕ устанавливайте и не пользуйтесь! Постоянно запрашивает логин и пароль! ЗБЛО его вводить каждый 15 минут!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111111

Saw all the reviews about this not working but I just dL'd it and it's working great and is so much faster than the standalone app. After turning it on and checking via WhatsMyIP, the site shows me at the location for the server I chose and so does the map.
