Lee, I’m checking out Privateinternetaccess.
Once I install it do I have to make changes to my router/modem? To any settings in my network preferences? or other preferences? What about on my ios devices? Also the web site says “5 devices simultaneously.” I have six devices, do I have to purchase 2 subscriptions or will one subscription work as long as I am not using more than 5 devices at the same time? Thanks.
