Subscribed for another year : Feedback

Overall service is good.

Drawbacks:

- Fix the software : So many problem with the windows client especially with disk writing and multiple instances, and ruby. Haven't noticed any problem with Linux client unless people use Ubuntu 14.10. There is no software for iPhone yet. I like the simplicity of the program though.

So, my feedback is, please fix the software once and for all. Do whatever it takes.

- Add Openvpn's new XOR scrambling/obfuscating capacity.

Thank you very much for this service.

  • +1 to the XOR thing.

    tens, if not hundreds, of users have been saying the same things about windows client and ruby crapware for ages but pia just won't care.

    and everytime someone complains about ruby crapware, some certain guys show up with their same old tirades. here's an example:

    https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/4562/open-letter-to-london-trust-media-inc

    if pia just recoded a win client from the scratch that is not based on ruby crapware, then it would surely be #1 vpn.
  • I am not in that thread, so please do not lump me together with "some certain guys".

    Use OpenVPN and be happy or not. Your call.

    And you know what, "Igotsomethingtosay" too. I am sick of whiny people who think that the application needs to be remade to comply with specifications they do not understand and cannot elaborate on.

    OpenVPN is as the name implies. It has full source code available for you to remake it in the way you want if it actually matters to you so very much.

    Next time you want to bitch about Ruby being so bad, kindly shut up unless you can put enough thought into it to specify what exactly is wrong and how it can be improved. And for the record, saying it would be better without Ruby is not going to work. You can manage better than that.

    let me get this straight. are you telling me that i'm supposed to waste my time to try to remake some software in order to be able to use a service that i pay for the way it's supposed to work in the first place?
    and i'm supposed to think up a way to improve a software that i pay for?
    all the problems with ruby crapware have been told hundreds of times on this forum before, and hundred and first was on in that link i gave in my first post.

    it is clear that you have no idea about how things work in the free market. customers don't have to figure out a way to make something work that they pay for, they just take their business somewhere else. and that's what's happening.
    capisci?

    Since you are clearly stupid, let me make it really simple. You do not have to use the "ruby crapware" at all. Use OpenVPN. It is ready to go right now.

    If you do not like the client PIA made based on OpenVPN and Ruby, then do not use it. Or if you think you deserve something different, make it yourself.

    It seems you have far less of a clue about the "free market" you want to provide you with everything you want and nothing you do not on a silver platter for less cost than anyone else.

    Want to continue arguing? Fine by me. I have time. But next time try actually bothering to specify anything actually to be improved. You said nothing. Just like you did in the nine other posts you made before this.

    The sad truth is that I doubt you have any idea what you even want. And certainly no ability to actually describe it, much less make the changes or compile and use it. No, I never meant you should try to make the software you are not smart enough to use.

    Your problem is that you have other crapware installed on your system. Period. That is why Ruby is a problem for you. And you are going to have a problem with anything you try to use forevermore until you fix that crapware problem. Blame PIA if you like, but act like an adult and recognize the crapware problem does not start with PIA.
  • yet another tirade, full of insults, because he got nothing to say, and he knows he is wrong. just his manner alone is enough to prove that.

    the single most absurd thing ever heard, some anonymous guy tells me how i should use the service i pay for as if he is the one who pays for it.
    ain't gonna waste my time on such a miserable person, i got better things to do on the net while using the proprietary software provided by some other vpn provider that works flawlessly just as it's supposed to.

    As I said, I have plenty of time to argue with you. Yet you are wrong on most if not all counts. I only insulted your intellect since you cannot even name one single thing you would like done with the client besides the removal of Ruby.

    And if that is the most absurd thing you ever heard, then you need to have your hearing checked.

    Since you are clearly not understanding this, know that the PIA client works fine for just about everyone other than you. As I already said, it is your crapware infestation that causes the problems.

    Go install more crapware and enjoy it. And complain some more. You seem to think that baseless complaints help, so by all means continue.
  • Come on guys. Chill.

    I think native OpenVPN client is good but there is no 256AES/SHA256/RSA4096 config only AES128.

    It doesn't have killswitch or leak protection or any added features that pia client provides.

    Both of them have good and bad, just remove all the bad.

    I am not calling for a complete overhall but an opensource client would be better, at least fix the disk write issues. Thanks. It is still one of the best clients around for a vpn.

    HidemyAss client is the most bloated one I think. 
  • I do agree that PIA Manager is mostly crap, but that has nothing to do with Ruby, which is a programming language.
