PIA Notify: A Subtle Warning for VPN Connection Status
PIA Notify is a Chrome extension that provides a subtle yet effective way to stay informed about your VPN connection status. Developed by errier, this free add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically Add-ons & Tools.
Once installed, PIA Notify scrapes the Private Internet Access (PIA) website to determine if you are currently protected or not. If it detects that you are not connected to PIA, it will temporarily display a warning message at the top of the page you are browsing. This can be particularly useful in situations where your VPN status is not easily visible, such as when you have an OVPN client running on your router or when you hide your task bar or notification bar.
PIA Notify offers a more noticeable warning compared to the icons of the PIA apps, which can sometimes be overlooked or forgotten. With this extension, you can have a constant reminder of your VPN connection status without it being intrusive or distracting.
