Private Internet Access (PIA) <\/a>comes with some of the best pricing of any VPN, and often doesn’t feel like a budget service. I say “often” because, sadly, it does sometimes feel like you get what you pay for with PIA. While I’m working on seeing what settings iron out the kinks, the fact is that PIA doesn’t always leave you with the internet speeds you need for everyday use.<\/p>\n

If you’ve found PIA unreliable, you may want to know how to end your subscription, get a refund and trade up to a more stable VPN service. Here, I’ll explain how to stop your subscription from renewing, get your money back and delete your account (if you want to go that far).<\/p>\n

How to turn off auto-renewal for PIA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Like with most VPNs, the standard way to cancel PIA is to stop your subscription from renewing at the end of the current payment period. Whether you’ve signed up for one month, one year or three years, you’ll get to keep using the VPN until that time expires. Here’s the process to follow.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    \n

    In a desktop or mobile web browser, go to privateinternetaccess.com. Click Login <\/strong>at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n
    \n

    Enter your account username and password. You’ll be taken to your client control panel. It should automatically load on the Subscription Overview tab, but check the left-hand column to make sure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n
    \n

    Under the username for the subscription you want to cancel, find the “next billing” heading, then click the Turn off auto-renewal <\/strong>link.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n
    \n

    You’ll get a message trying to convince you not to cancel. Click Turn off auto-renewal again, <\/strong>this time at the bottom-left of the window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n
    \n

    Give a cancellation reason. Feel free to click “I have another reason,” then enter one letter and click Continue with cancellation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n
    \n

    Finally, the site will offer to connect you with tech support instead of cancelling. Hold the line and click Turn off auto-renewal <\/strong>once more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
