por Utilizador do Firefox 14026476 , há 7 anos 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.

- Avaliado em 3 de 5por Pete , há 2 mesesWorks 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. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Clark , há 3 mesesThis 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.
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 18797758 , há 3 mesesA 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.
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por hobbyist , há 4 mesesSimply 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.

- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Artur , há 6 mesesI 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.
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 18642842 , há 6 mesesThis 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).

- Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 17025688 , há 9 mesesServers 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.
