I need help with this!
I managed to get it installed using yay, but piactl commands just seem to freeze and then exit with "Timed out after 5 seconds"
I increased timeout to 120 seconds, and it just hangs for 120 seconds and exits with the same error.
What gives? I have no outstanding network problems that I'm aware of. Internet connectivity is working perfectly on the machine - yet piactl stalls out.
Is this some problem with a hidden daemon somewhere?
Help!
Thank you for the fix. I did mention that issue here, and my specific use case doesn't require me to update too often, so only seeing yours changes now. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/piavpn-bin?O=10#comment-835193
We just pushed a new build to fix the aarch64 package. It was finally discovered that it was the x86_64 binaries that were packaged instead of the aarch64 ones (oops)
The client is here:
/opt/piavpn/bin/pia-client
Thanks! enabling the service has indeed fixed the issue! If you are able to do so, you should include it in the PKGBUILD, otherwise pinning your comment would probably also help
You need to enable and start piavpn.service. Run sudo systemctl enable --now piavpn.service
Then pia-client will complete the quick tour guide, and let you login.
I am using a fully upgraded x86_64 Arch installation with Plasma/Kwin. I ran yay -S piavpn-bin without any errors.
@OkyMata on what architecture? running archlinux latest? which DE? WM?
Did you try to run it from a terminal? Did it show any errors?
Just like jbsilva and WiLL-iAm, I can install it without any problems, but the "quick tour" doesn't launch and when clicking on the taskbar icon I keep getting stuck at the loading screen without being able to log in. Downloading the official .run and installing it that way works.

Warning: the iproute2 package has updated from version 6.4.0 to 6.5.0, and with it the default rt_tables location has changed from /etc/iproute2/rt_tables to /usr/lib/iproute2/rt_tables. I've rolled out a fix for this change in the latest version. When updating your package, please remove the package, and then reinstall it, so that everything in the piavpn-bin.install gets re-run. You will need to re-run 'sudo systemctl enable --now piavpn.service'
