The South African VPN Connection You Can Trust
We keep your data off our servers, out of databases, and under your control. And we have the privacy know-how to do it.

RAM-Only Servers
PIA’s servers don’t have hard drives, meaning there’s nowhere to store VPN usage data. In addition, all of your session data is automatically wiped from RAM during regular, scheduled reboots.

Court-Proven No-Logs Policy
Our no-logs policy has been confirmed in court and independently audited by Deloitte, so you can be sure that we don’t collect any data that could be used to figure out who or where you are.

Transparent VPN Apps
All PIA app code is 100% open source, allowing you to inspect how our VPN handles your traffic, if it has any vulnerabilities, and whether our no-logs policy really holds up.
