how's it going everybody welcome back in a little video here comparing nordvpn and
private internet access in hopes of helping you figure out which one could be the best choice
for you and your situation okay uh before begin by the way if you guys are interested in any of these
vpns speed private internet access or nordvpn you'll find full reviews in the description down
below and you'll also find links to pricing and discounts if you're interested in getting straight
to those okay so we're going to be talking about the speed servers support ease of use
and finally the pricing and hopefully after that you'll be able to find out which one could be the
best choice for you okay so nordvpn and private internet access are two of the most popular vpn
providers now both have quite a bit of features but if you're looking for something with more
features definitely go with private internet access now the server count is not exactly
uh let's say set now some sources do say that they have 11 000 servers some say they have just about
20 or 35 000 servers but it seems like private internet access has a huge library of servers
in over 70 countries and with nordvpn you will get over 5000 servers in 60 countries in terms
of speed while pia can consistently maintain high speeds it doesn't come close to nordvpn which is
one of the fastest vpns i've ever tested if you're interested in looking at speed tests
and whatnot be sure to check the reviews below but to keep it short the north links protocol
surpasses any other protocol that you might see with private internet access so if you go to
protocols here you'll notice that we have openvpn tcp and udp and the cool thing about it is that
obviously as you can tell you have a lot of options here with private internet access and
even though nordvpn has quite a few features here and there a lot of security features
it doesn't really come close when it comes to the customization level of private internet access
even though pia has a wireguard protocol it is not as quick as the nord links protocol it's
super quick and it will be good enough to stream up to 4k considering your connection can handle 4k
streaming in the first place so they're both very quick vpns but if you're looking for the quickest
option you'll find that nordvpn is actually probably faster than almost any other vpn out
there so you have some notification and just um display features you have a couple of protocols
in the network here you do have custom dns options and port forwarding pia support support forwarding
you do have a kill switch as well as an ad blocker dedicated ip you can purchase your own ip address
some automation options here uh for wi-fi automatic and automatic connections and
disconnections uh split tunneling and multi-hop which is double vpn split telling by the way
it will let you select which applications are routed through the vpn and which are not
and if you didn't know the kill switch will cut your internet connection once the vpn is turned
off or when it disconnects unexpectedly ulti hop you have multi-hop and shadow socks multihop will
have your internet traffic go through two servers rather than one which will increase obfuscation
and shadow socks is also a proxy that is available here if you would like to use it if you're in a
censorship heavy country the shadow socks protocol will help with privacy and that would
be pretty much it now all of these features are almost available also in nord links but
not with the customization level that comes with pia so if you notice here the ui itself
is super easy to use and it's much more friendly much more kind of user friendly so
you have the ad blocker here some options here some auto connection options and the protocols
the conventional kit switch as well as an app kill switch for close selected apps when you
disconnect from the vpn or the connection drops unexpectedly split tunneling and
you can see here it's just uh it looks nicer on the eyes really in my opinion at least
um custom dns which you do have also in private internet access but the difference is
if we go to privacy you know was it an automation dedicated iep network yep network
um you have quite a few options here when it comes to just customizing dns and whatnot so
and you can request port forwarding as well it supports fully supports support forwarding
uh while nordvpn does not support portforwarding so i can see um you know for most people that
want to just unblock netflix and libraries and whatnot just want to have a fast vpn um nordvpn
will cater to most uh people whereas pia is a little bit i would say technical when it comes to
just operating it um you might have to fiddle around with it kind of you have to look at the
user interface and figure out what these buttons do if you go to the settings it might look a
little bit overwhelming for newbies but it is actually still a simple vpn to use nonetheless
if you're looking for a vpn to stream netflix and whatnot stick to nordvpn while pi8 does
unblock us netflix libraries and other streaming services nordvpn does a much better job at that
so keep that in mind now with regards to support all these vpns have video tutorials knowledge base
a live chat support which is also available 24 7 and an email ticketing system again they're both
super easy to use and they will allow for multiple devices to be secured
with a single subscription that'll be 10 devices with pia and 6 with nordvpn though
you will notice the difference here in pricing and it's really up to you whether or not you want to
go with nord or pia it's up to you if you think pia does the job you'll notice here that you are
paying 80 bucks for three years nearly 80 bucks for three years for the first uh three years
which is great really uh so yeah two dollars just roughly two dollars and three cents here
uh saving a lot of money but if you're interested in nord you'll notice that it is a little bit more
expensive and um i think that comes with the just the overall quality of the vpn and the ease of use
um i think nordvpn is much more accessible and i would recommend it if you're new to vpns
or you just want a vpn that functions very well at all times i have noticed that piaa
gets bugged out at sometimes like i have had these kind of instances when a pia just bugs out on me
and i have to either reset the computer or reset my network or do something uh and that's just
my only gripe with pia really other besides that i think it's a great vpn but i don't like how
clunky the user interface can be at times or how buggy the software the application itself
can be at times i've noticed that happening with me a few times and i had to either
change protocols or reinstall the application altogether so that'll be
it for this video hopefully you guys have a better idea of what these vpns are like
uh if you guys are interested in any of them by the way you'll find links to special deals and
