How it works
Getting Started Now – How to Use VPN Center Service
Private Internet Access provides state of the art, multi-layered security with advanced privacy protection using VPN tunneling. Scroll below to the Security Layers section to learn more about each individual layer.
Our services have been designed from the ground up to be able to operate using built-in technology pre-existing in your computer or smartphone device.
The services operate at the TCP/IP interface or at the kernel level, which means all of your applications will be secured, not just your web browser.
We offer user-friendly applications for all major operating systems.
Block unwanted exposure and data leaks by hiding your IP address
Our IP cloak masks your real IP address with one of our anonymous IP addresses, effectively keeping websites and internet services from tracking your web browsing habits, monitoring what you search for and discovering your geographic location.
After establishing a secure connection to our VPN security layer, you will be issued a new European or US based IP address which will substitute a different location. It will look like you are physically located in that same country as shown below:
Protect yourself via our 128-bit encryption
Several, easy to use and already available software packages that allow spammers and criminals to intercept your data exist, with more emerging daily. It is becoming increasingly easier to hijack and steal data and information from insecure connections. If you access the internet through a public wifi hotspot, shared internet router or even through your very own internet provider, your data, files and privacy will be at risk.
Our service utilizes high grade encryption based on the cryptographically secure Blowfish CBC algorithm. This is used in conjunction with the OpenVPN protocol and is able to secure your data transmissions to the fullest.
Block unwanted connections
Thanks to the integration of the advanced firewall and filtering capabilities of the Netfilter Project, you will never receive any unwanted connections to your computer, server or smart phone. Our integrated filtering software delivers optimal performance and keeps out all network intrusions.
With our global network and integrated firewall, the only openings to the outside internet will be those that you created. Keep the doors closed for hackers and outsiders.
Browse the web anonymously
If your identity puts you at risk, anonymous browsing and posting anonymously on sites are of critical importance. Avoid becoming exposed on the world wide web.
Anonymous browsing also helps prevent data mining, which keeps your data and identity secret. Privacy is very important these days, as websites are already able to paint clear pictures of who you are and learn which websites you visit very easily with information that can be abused in the public.
Unrestricted European and US based Internet Services
Our VPN service provide unrestricted and uncensored access to the complete internet. If you are blocked by strict censorships by your ISP or firewall, this service will bypass the censorships and firewall, effectively providing you unrestricted access via a European or United States based IP address.
In addition, any blocked software by your ISP including Voice over IP, P2P and other various software applications will be unblocked and unrestricted on our systems. We also provide full and complete access to your favorite website and video streams, including Hulu, iPlayer by BBC, Demand5, Youtube, Facebook and more.
