Fix Slow PIA – Speedify’s VPN Tunnels are Unbreakable

Unbreakable VPN Connection to Fix Slow Private Internet Access by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify

Private Internet Access (PIA) is a VPN platform that helps protect users and their data while online. But, sometimes people encounter slow Internet connections while using PIA. While Private Internet Access says users should expect some slowing while connected to their VPN, some slow PIA connections make it almost impossible to use the Internet as intended.

Speedify delivers an unbreakable VPN connection by intelligently bonding multiple internet sources, ensuring continuous uptime and encrypted protection.

Why Speedify's VPN Tunnel is Unbreakable vs Other VPNs

Most VPNs stop working the moment one of your internet connections has a problem. If your Wi-Fi glitches, or your device briefly switches between 4G / 5G and Starlink, you can suddenly lose your VPN connection.

Speedify is built to prevent that. Instead of relying on just one connection, Speedify can use all your available internet connections at the same time: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G / 5G cellular, even Starlink or other satellite. If one connection slows down or drops, Speedify instantly moves your traffic to another internet source so your VPN stays connected and your online activity isn’t interrupted.

In this video, you’ll see how Speedify keeps your internet connection secure, smooth, and reliable by intelligently spreading your encrypted data across the available connections. The result: an unbreakable VPN tunnel.

Combining multiple internet sources like WiFi, 4G, 5G, & Starlink together makes Speedify's secure VPN tunnels unbreakable

Combine internet connections for better bandwidth and signal strength

No matter how secure your VPN is, if you experience a drop in your Internet connection, either your VPN tunnel will break leaving you unprotected, or you’ll be stuck offline. Speedify is the only VPN that seamlessly combines all of your connections, including WiFi, 4G, 5G, Ethernet, and Starlink, into one unbreakable connection to keep you online and secure.

Speedify will automatically detect any available Internet connections on your device, encrypting and intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.

Join multiple mobile personal hotspots at the same time

Speedify's Pair & Share is a feature that enables you to connect to multiple personal hotspots at the same time and wirelessly share LTE, 4G, and 5G cellular connections back and forth between multiple Speedify users on the same local network to create a faster, more reliable connection for everyone.

With Speedify, all of your available internet sources - even shared personal hotspots - are combined inside the secure VPN tunnel with your encrypted traffic intelligently distributed between them, while split tunneling allows blocked sites to bypass. So, if any connection slows down or drops out, the VPN tunnel stays active and the other connections will automatically take over to keep you securely, seamlessly connected.

Why do I have a slow Private Internet Access connection?

The first step in solving your slow PIA issues is to identify the cause of the problem. Private Internet Access notes in their support pages that users may experience connection speed drops between 10% to 75% from their ISPs ideal connection speeds.

If you are experiencing a slowdown within that range, troubleshooting may not resolve your problem.

Other causes of slow PIA connections include:

  • ISP issues
  • Unreliable network
  • Geographic location
  • Internet Port issues

The first you thing you need to do is figure out if your network is causing the trouble. If you are connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi hotspot may be unreliable. Try connecting to the Internet via a different network or a wired connection, if possible. If the slow Private Internet Access speed issue persists, you need to move onto another possible cause.

Try connecting to the Internet with PIA turned off. Test the speed of your Internet connection. If the connection is slow even when PIA is not activated, the issue is most likely your ISP.

How to fix slow Private Internet Access VPN connections

If the problem with your slow PIA connection is not the network or the ISP, you may have a port conflict. Your will need to follow the instructions for your operating system on making sure the Internet ports used by Private Internet Access are available and are not also being used at the same time by other apps.

Another common cause of slow PIA Internet connections is the number of people trying to connect to the same servers as you are in a given geographic area. Think of it like a freeway. If there are too many cars, traffic will eventually start to slow down.

If this is the cause of your problem, you may want to try turning off your VPN, turning it back on, and reconnecting. This may allow you to connect to a different, less crowded server.
