LAS VEGAS, Nevada, April 4th, 2019 \u2014 Private Internet Access (PIA), one of the leading virtual private network (VPN) services is forging its first OEM partnership with Purism, maker of secure hardware, software and services to deliver the ultimate combination of private, encrypted tools and services to the market.<\/p>\n
Purism is classified as a Social Purpose Corporation, because they are dedicated to bringing privacy and software freedom into the digital lives of consumers around the world through their Librem line of computing devices. These honorable ideals led to an endorsement from the Free Software Foundation, and several partnerships with like-minded companies such as Nextcloud for secure document management, Nitrokey who developed Purism\u2019s Librem Key, Matrix secure chat and now Private Internet Access, one of the leading VPN service providers.<\/p>\n
\u201cPIA is the gold standard of VPNs, and we are thrilled to be working with a company that is so closely aligned with our ethics,\u201d said Todd Weaver, founder and CEO of Purism. \u201cOur partnership with them is a big win for users who don\u2019t want to sacrifice convenience or freedom in the products they use.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite being in business since 2010, this is the first OEM partnership for Private Internet Access. \u201cPurism has been an important player advancing the cause of internet privacy and freedom and are the perfect partner for us to work with on integrating PIA into a broader suite of hardware and software,\u201d said Ted Kim, CEO of Private Internet Access.<\/p>\n
Purism plans to include Private Internet Access\u2019 VPN software on their Librem 13 and Librem 15 laptops as well as the Librem 5 smartphone. Combining PIA\u2019s VPN apps and service with Purism\u2019s secure hardware and software products will give consumers an easy to set up, privacy protecting device, right out of the box.<\/p>\n
