- IP Cloacking

As websites integrate high powered data monitoring, internet privacy is becoming an ever increasing issue. With IP Cloacking user are able to mask their IP address and thus preventing from being tracked from by website and application who collects such data without user awareness. Once connected user will be distributed a new IP determined by the server so that no real information would be leaked to external source which puts your personal information and internet security at risk.


- Encryption

By utilizing Private Network Access high grade encryption which based on the cryptography of Blowfish CBC algorithm which encrypt data from user before being securely sent to external server/website. This prevent sensitive data and information such as credit card detail being leak and hijacked by spammer especially while on public Wi-Fi hotspot connection.


- Firewall

Private Internet Access was integrated with Netfiler Project, an advanced firewall and filtering software to block unwanted and unauthorized connection to user device. The server-grade filtering software delivers optimal performance and keeps all network intrusions out.


- Unblock Website

Unarguably one of the main factor which drive user to use VPN is to remove internet restriction and censorship impose by the local ISP provider. With Private Internet Access, user will not have to worry about such issues no more beside providing user with strongest level of privacy available. This especially true with geographically restricted website such as Hulu, Spotify, Netfilx and etc.


- Browse Anonymously

Prevent data mining by website and keep your identity anonymous without have to worry about it being exposed or revealed. It also prevent website surveillance of ISP so that they would unable to decipher any of the data sent or track any of the websites that you may have visited.

Clicking on the advance button will bring up more advanced option for a more advanced user to tweak the settings.


- Request port forwarding: Port Forwarding reduces privacy. For maximum privacy, please keep port forwarding disabled.

- PIE MACE s a system to help protect our customer's privacy and security. PIA MACE returns IP addresses of unwanted domain names as an address that's not routable on the public internet. It works somewhat similar to the usual ad-blocker and here are the advantages of MACE in comparison:
  • You don't have to install any extensions or configure your browser if using our desktop/mobile apps.
  • You might find MACE faster and more memory efficient because your browser is no longer comparing each URL against potentially thousands of rules.
  • We update our list of malicious domains very regularly to ensure you're always protected.
  • On mobile devices, browsing with MACE active can reduce the battery drain depending on your type of usage.
- VPN Kill Switch: This option allow user to stop internet connection completely in case of the event that VPN connection is disconnected thus may lead to the risk of identify being unintentionally exposed.

- DNS leak protection: The dns leak protection feature activates VPN dns leak protection. This ensures that DNS requests are routed through the VPN. This enables the greatest level of privacy and security but may cause connectivity issues in non-standard network configurations.

- IPv6 leak protection: IPv6 leak protection disables IPv6 traffic while on the VPN. This ensures that no IPv6 traffic leaks out over your normal internet connection when you are connected to the VPN. This includes 6to4 and Teredo tunneled IPv6 traffic.
