Proxy on PS4
Is it possible to use PIA on a PS4 using proxies? is it safe?
I am sure if this is a frequently asked question, but I was not able to find any answer.

Generally,security of vpn protocols such as openvpn is more than proxies
Unfortunately, we do not directly support the VPN on gaming consoles. These connections are never suggested for use with real-time online gaming. By the very nature of how VPN technology works, it's going to increase your latency, not decrease it exponentially. When you're connecting to a VPN server, you're first bouncing your connection off of a remote server, before it ever goes out to the internet, or back again; doing this doubles the routing path necessary for your connection, thus doubling your ping times.
You can try updating your MTU setting, which may help your connectivity as well but please be aware that PIA does not support these settings, and any changes are used at your discretion and liability.
However, connecting to PIA on your router can be a great tool to use to protect multiple devices at one time, or to protect any device that we currently do not support.
Almost any router with VPN capability could work with our service. However, we only offer ready VPN setup guides for routers using specific router firmware. Here is a list of routers compatible with each of the currently supported firmware types:
DD-WRT -- http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices
Tomato -- http://tomatousb.org/doc:build-types
Pfsense -- https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_hardware_is_supported
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IPsec_Compatibility#IPsec_Compatibility
However, if you can not locate your router within the above lists, it would appear that we do not support your router or your router does not directly support VPN services.
The directions for router-based VPN setups for this firmware can be found on this page: https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/hc/en-us/sections/204236038-Setup-Guides-Router.
In all likelihood, you will need to install ("flash") such custom router firmware onto your router. Please be aware that router flashing falls outside our support scope, and doing so would be at your discretion and liability. - PIA CS TEAM
