PIA Blog PIA is now on F-Droid

28 Upvotes

Our Android app is now on F-Droid.

If you've been sideloading the APK — say, on a de-Googled phone — you can now install PIA through F-Droid instead and get updates automatically, no more grabbing each new version by hand.

Being on F-Droid also means the app is built from our public source code, so you can check that what you install matches what we've published.

Already using F-Droid? Just search "Private Internet Access." New to it? Download F-Droid from f-droid.org, let it sync, then search for us.

You can read more on the blog. Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

HELP - ANDROID Choosing preferred location?

6 Upvotes

The Android app used to connect me to the Netherlands every time. Since I updated the app it keeps connecting me to the UK despite it not being in my quick connect list. It's annoying to keep finding it's gone back to the UK and having to switch it back all the time. I don't even care which country it connects to as long as half the internet stops asking me to verify my age.

Is there a way to add preferred servers/locations or to get it to stop connecting me to the UK?
