One Mac per account
Your account is tied to one computer, and each computer belongs to one account. Revoke your Mac from the dashboard before you move to another one.
School-authorised pilot
Your solution to being blocked on WiFi.
Buy time or claim your free trial, enrol your Mac once, and browse through the official Private Internet Access app. Your traffic goes straight from your Mac to PIA — never through our server.
- Set up in one command, then one PIA setting.
- From $1 a day, or free with your first trial.
- Access ends by itself when your time runs out.
Time you can see
The menu-bar app shows exactly how long you have left. When it runs out, the app disconnects and signs PIA out for you.
The real PIA app
We do not repackage or patch anything. You run PIA’s own signed app and its supported commands. Multi-Hop takes one manual setting the first time.
How it works
- Create an account and claim your trial, or buy time.
- Run the install command on your Mac.
- Approve the short code your Mac shows you.
- Turn on Settings → Proxy → Shadowsocks in PIA, once.
- Press Connect in the menu bar.
What you should know
This is an authorised pilot. Use it under your school’s acceptable-use policy — it is not a way around rules you have agreed to.
We store your account, your enrolled Mac, your purchases, and access events. We never collect your browsing history.
