What if the proxy doesn't work?
Proxies also tend to "break", we try to prevent this, but if you still find a problem - please contact our support. We are online 24/7.
How many simultaneous threads/connections can be used with your proxies?
Our proxies are as stable as possible when working with various purposes. At the moment, for many, it is very important to use proxies on multiple devices. We in no way limit our users in this, but creating a large number of threads on one proxy will lead to a decrease in speed. Based on this, for perfect work with a proxy, we recommend using it on no more than 3 devices.
How often do you update your proxies?
We try to update our server pool as often as possible for our clients. This applies to both the number of IPs and the list of countries. Now we can provide you with proxies from 180+ countries.
Are there traffic restrictions?
No, but with high traffic consumption, restrictions may be imposed by the cellular operator.
Why is my server/VPS showing the wrong location?
You may find that when you look up your server's/VPS's location on a site like iplocation.net, that it shows to be in a different location than you had requested for the product.
This is because the IP that is assigned to the server/VPS has not had its Geolocation updated yet. However, your server/VPS is physically located in the location you have requested, and this physical location is where the signal is directly coming from. The virtual location of the IP associated with the server has no effect on performance at all.

whitelist the Pia files. After that, redownload the latest version of Pia and try again.
