privateinternetaccess.com
Link authority for privateinternetaccess.com (registrable domain: privateinternetaccess.com) from the Common Crawl web graph: PageRank and harmonic centrality history since 2017, current scores, and the site's top backlink sources.
Web-graph authority (0-100)
Domain scores measure privateinternetaccess.com as a whole: every subdomain's links rolled up into one node of Common Crawl's domain-level web graph. Host scores measure the exact hostname privateinternetaccess.com. WWW scores cover the www variant of that hostname, which the graph tracks as its own entry since January 2026 (before that, www and bare host were merged). A big gap between domain and host usually means the domain's authority lives on other subdomains. PageRank is link-endorsement authority: how much weight the sites linking here carry themselves. Harmonic centrality measures reach: how close this site sits to the rest of the web when following links, which favors broadly connected sites over ones boosted by a few heavy linkers. All are normalized 0 to 100 within each crawl snapshot; a dash means that series does not exist for this site.

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the primary uses of a VPN?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A VPN is a cybersecurity tool that helps you to protect your digital identity and data. It also comes with many other benefits like fast VPN speeds for comfortable browsing, sidestepping activity-based connection slowdowns, accessing your favorite content more safely, and avoiding cyber attacks like DDoS and Man-in-the-Middle attacks."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are you completely anonymous with a VPN?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You are not completely anonymous with a VPN, but you can boost your online anonymity with a top-shelf VPN. With PIA, you can encrypt your online traffic and mask your IP address to improve your digital privacy. By hiding your activity with VPN encryption, you can make it difficult for your ISP and other third parties to track your activities back to you."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a No Logs policy?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A no-logs policy means your VPN doesn’t collect or store your data. You might think this is a given for a privacy-focused service, but unfortunately, it’s not. Some services monetize by keeping users’ logs and selling their data. If you want to enjoy a more private internet experience, you need a VPN that has a strict no-logs policy, like PIA."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do VPNs slow down a person's internet connection?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A top-tier VPN won’t noticeably slow down your internet connection. It can actually even improve your speeds when your ISP is throttling your connection during streaming or online gaming. For example, PIA has ultra-fast servers, and uses highly efficient VPN protocols. This means that you can enjoy the online world at full speed, with less stuttering or freezing."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I run a VPN 24/7?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"In theory, you can run your VPN 24/7 as long as you have a VPN that has no bandwidth caps. Many VPNs have bandwidth restrictions, but PIA doesn’t. Use PIA to mask your online activities, and circumvent content-based bandwidth throttling by your ISP. Stream, game, or browse the web as much as you'd like, but with more privacy."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does a VPN work on any device?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You can set up your VPN on any compatible device if you have suitable VPN apps. PIA has native VPN apps for all major operating systems — macOS, Windows, Linux, Apple iOS, and Android. You can also use PIA on your home devices like your router and Smart TV. It’s simple to set up and use. With just 1 PIA subscription you can protect an unlimited number of devices simultaneously."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the average cost of a VPN?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"VPN prices vary between different brands and plans — some are free and some are very expensive, but only a few are both reasonably priced and trustworthy. PIA VPN is an affordable and reliable option. Subscribe to our service from only <span class="ps-tag-price"> per month, and enjoy our 30-day money-back guarantee for new subscribers."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I get a VPN on my Chromebook for school?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Download our Chrome VPN extension to enjoy online protection on your Chromebook at school or anywhere else.

Authority over time
Every Common Crawl web-graph release since 2017, roughly quarterly. The domain series goes back to 2017; Common Crawl only began publishing the host-level graph in 2020, so host lines start there. Click a legend entry to show or hide that line. Flat lines are normal for established sites; watch for sustained rises or drops, which track real gains or losses in who links here.
A note on www: through the end of 2025 the source web graph merged www and non-www hostnames into the bare name, so one host line covers both. Starting in January 2026 the graph splits them into separate entries, which is why www can carry its own scores going forward.
Backlink counts
Unique linking domains seen in Common Crawl's link graphs. This is a different dataset than the 0-100 authority scores above: these are raw counts, host-level for privateinternetaccess.com and domain-level for privateinternetaccess.com with all its subdomains combined. Common Crawl covers a large sample of the web, not all of it, so treat counts as comparable between sites rather than absolute totals.
Top backlinks in the domain graph
Common Crawl publishes two link graphs. The DOMAIN graph connects whole domains: every link from any page of one domain to any page of another. This table shows the highest-authority domains linking to privateinternetaccess.com (including its subdomains), ranked by the linker's PageRank. The table shows the top 1,000; the download carries the full stored list (up to 10,000 linkers) as JSON. Click a linker for its own site profile.
Top backlinks in the host graph
The HOST graph connects exact hostnames, so subdomains count separately. This table shows the highest-authority hosts linking to privateinternetaccess.com specifically, ranked by the linker's PageRank. The table shows the top 384; the download carries the full stored list (up to 10,000 linkers) as JSON. Click a linker for its own site profile.
