Some websites and search engines track your online activity to gather useful information about you, then use it to help determine what to charge you for products and services based on your past purchases, geographical location, browsing habits, and other online activity. That means you might pay more for hotels, entertainment, or products based on your location and other personal information.
It’s called price discrimination, and it’s more common than you may think. Fortunately, Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN can help you avoid it.
A virtual private network (VPN) like PIA gives you a new IP address the moment you connect to one of its servers. The server not only hides your true location, it encrypts your traffic. Websites won’t be able to track your location or view your previous online activity, which means they can’t up the prices based on either factor.
Browse for deals across borders if you like. PIA has servers in 84 locations (including one in each of the 50 US states). Just pick a server in the location you’re looking for a deal, hit connect, and then open your favorite search engine and get started.
(We partnered with PIA to get you a subscription for 82% off + two months free.)
The VPN’s court-tested No Logs policy means PIA will never collect any information about what you do while you’re connected to their servers, and they won’t have data to hand over on your activities if authorities request it. The servers run on RAM-only, too, so the second the server reboots all of your session data is deleted. Just another way the service ensures your online activity remains private.
Plus, you’ll never have to pick and choose which tech gets coverage. When you purchase PIA VPN, your subscription comes with unlimited device connections. The VPN has apps for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS; and it’s compatible with most gaming consoles, smart devices, and routers.
Step 1: Download PIA and install it on your device. (We partnered with PIA to get you a subscription for 82% off + two months free.)
Step 2: Connect to any one of the VPN’s servers in 80+ locations.
Step 3: Start browsing the internet for the best deals around!
Stop paying too much online. Get PIA VPN, and get a better deal on your next big online purchase. It has the tools you need to avoid price discrimination and make every dollar count — starting with big savings on a subscription to PIA itself.
