PIA App - Public Wifi with logins don't work / slow

VPN
1

I had the PIA app installed on my iPhone. I noticed when connecting to public wifi (mainly when on holiday) or something like the cloud which requires putting in an email address to connect that it wouldn’t show this login page or it would after some time.

I have now uninstalled the app and as soon as I connect to a public wifi I am now prompted to log in.

Is there a fix or solution for this. I’d like to still have the app but suppose a workaround could be to put the VPN connection details in the IOS VPN section and connect that way when needed?

I got a refund because it stopped working completely

If a public Wi-Fi has a sign in page, you normally need to disable the VPN in order to do this because of VPN Kill Switch. If PIA cannot connect to the internet, then you can’t login.

I’m not that stupid :rofl:. The point is when the app is installed on my phone whether I’m connected or not connected I have the problem. I have deleted the app and it fixes the problem. I reinstall the app, the issue comes back

Yeah I do disable the VPN. The issue is with the app installed it seems to take an age to connect to public wifis. It does something because on the WiFi page is says that PIA got your protected or something…
