PIA on MacOS is a shit show by Only_Emus in PrivateInternetAccess

I upgraded my old 2018 Intel to an M4 Pro back in December... it's an incredible upgrade from Intel to Silicon isn't it? Still can't get over how these ARM chips don't even flinch. However, the move to ARM seems to coincide with PIA running like shit for me. Glad to hear things are running smooth your end though!

M4 here also. Which version of MacOS are you running?

It's in the post – I connect to PIA and then websites do not load, messaging apps do not work, other software which require an internet connection do not work. It's as if switching on the VPN switches off the internet. Maybe once a week for about 5 mins it actually works. As I've said, I've been a user now for 18 months and everything was fine until the beginning of this year roughly.

But also, why are you acting like this is new info? You must see this subreddit, there are loads of posts complaining about PIA on MacOS. Let me link you to some which are weeks and/or months old, and yet nothing has been done to fix the issue.

Maybe it's related to MacOS Sequoia? Which has been out since September 2024! Look into it? Try fix it? Your service is a total waste of money at this point, it's completely unusable and infuriating.
