Private Internet Access (PIA) is a popular, affordable VPN service that promises to reduce ping. PIA is based in the United States, which some may find alarming.

However, PIA has a good reputation and is one of the few remaining US-based VPN providers.

To test PIA’s claim, we connected to a server in the United Kingdom and ran speed tests on both a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop, we recorded a ping of 66ms.

On the laptop, we recorded a ping of 54ms. This is a noticeable reduction, and confirms that PIA does indeed reduce ping.

Conclusions

Private Internet Access does reduce ping, confirming that it is a good VPN service.
