Private Internet Access is offering a substantial discount on its long-term VPN subscription, bringing the cost down to just $2.03 per month while throwing in three additional months for free.

The current top offer covers 3 years + 3 extra months for $79, giving subscribers a total of 39 months of PIA VPN service. That works out to an effective rate of about $2.03 per month, matching PIA’s advertised 83% savings against its regular $11.95 monthly pricing.

At $79 upfront, you’re effectively paying about $2.03 per month for 39 months, rather than paying $11.95 every month. PIA says the subscription automatically renews at $79 every three years, so buyers should keep that renewal condition in mind when signing up.

The three free months are included in the 3-year plan rather than being a separate trial. PIA currently labels it as its “Top Offer: 83% Off” and lists the plan as “3 Years + 3 Months EXTRA.”

For comparison, PIA’s one-month plan costs $11.95 per month, while its one-year option costs $47.88 for the first year and then renews annually at the same $47.88 price.

That makes the long-term plan particularly different from the shorter options: you’re committing $79 upfront, but in return you get more than three years of service. The headline percentage also needs a little context. PIA calculates its 83% discount against the current $11.95 monthly price, rather than against an independently established historical market price.

Beyond the price, PIA says its VPN supports unlimited simultaneous devices, has servers in 91 countries, and uses open-source VPN software. The company also advertises a no-logs policy, 10-Gbps network capabilities and 24/7 customer support.

There’s also a 30-day money-back guarantee for new subscribers. PIA notes that subscriptions purchased through third-party app stores, such as Apple’s App Store, are subject to those stores’ respective refund terms.

The main thing to consider is the length of the commitment. If you already know you’ll use a VPN for several years, $79 for 39 months is a substantially lower upfront cost than paying month to month. If you’re only looking for short-term VPN access, however, the one-year or monthly options avoid locking you into a three-year renewal cycle.

This offer is scheduled to run through October 13, 2026, subject to the promotion’s availability and terms.
