Simultaneous connections from different countries supported?

shanegooseman

I live in the USA and would like to share my account with a family member who lives in Canada. Is this possible/allowed? Or do all simultaneous connections have to be from the same country?

Thanks.

According to this thread, it is allowed to share an account with family members (even if they live in different places, within the simultaneous connection limit): https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/25000/sharing-account-with-family-members-solved

The terms of service you quoted also seem to imply sharing is allowed (at least that's how I read it):

"you are responsible for ... any use and/or abuse which occurs while you or any third-party is logged into the Privateinternetaccess service with your account credentials"

In other words, if I allow someone to log in with my credentials, I'm responsible and liable for anything they do. That implies I can choose to allow that if I'm willing to accept responsibility.
