a total babe

Removing Comodo Firewall was the solution I was looking for.

Here's a still active page that I'm sure PIA doesn't know is still up that I'm using to get the service even cheaper:

I do control L in the port area (a blank) when it shuts down, it automatically sends a log error report then I tell them what the # is.  Tx for advice.

Right now I have about three pages saved in Word of various solutions such as changing ports, purging DNS, etc.  I really want the thing to work.  I thought there was a connection with my EaseUs backup that runs every Sunday night, but there isn't.  I really want them to work and their tech support is excellent.

Private Internet Access has proven to be a complete wipeout for me, it drops every few days in the middle of the night, impossible to reestablish the connection in the AM without logging off completely.  They had me change all kinds of ports, and now want me to change the DNS to a specific #, which I won't do.

Has anyone had problems of this magnitude?

Since PrivateInternetAccess keeps no logs, and let's say I'm in the US, and since servers would be faster in the US, would I be okay using them instead of using ones in Europe?

A few people on here recently discussed that they were using this.  I've been on about a month and am experiencing dropped connection, often overnight, and it never connects again.  Several approaches were offered by tech staff, which seem to work for awhile and then conk out.  If it drops this often, it's useless.  These are the solutions offered.  I'd be curious as to how people are doing with this service, or others they might be using, thanks.

1. Click on our icon in the System Tray or Menu Bar
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Advanced
4. Change the remote port to 9201 or 1194 or 8080 or 53  (1194 is default)
5. Change the local port to 53
6. Save and then Disconnect.
7. Reconnect
8. If this does not help, please go back to the Advanced Settings
9. Change the protocol to TCP
10. Change the remote port to 443 or 110 or 80
11. Leave the local port blank.
12. Save and then Disconnect.
13. Reconnect.

Just activated PrivateInternetAccess and couldn't be happier, can't believe the speeds.

For those interested, I stumbled on a "backdoor" somewhere that gives you a reduced rate, at least by the month:
