navigate to the local cache folder for the package

$HOME/.cache/yay/private-internet-access-vpn
edit the PKGBUILD file
locate the line contaning the git pull request\

"git+https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia.git#tag=${pkgver}"
modify the url by changing tag=${pkgver} to tag=v${pkgver}

"git+https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia.git#tag=v${pkgver}"
Save the file
In the package cache directory build the package using the command

makepkg -si

RogueToad50 commented on 2021-01-25 11:48 (UTC)

The package is unfortunately still broken, but it seems that the solution proposed by hyness still works (prepending a v to the tag on that github link). Please update?

flamusdiu commented on 2021-01-14 16:57 (UTC)

Woops. I'll get that updated.

hyness commented on 2021-01-14 16:48 (UTC)

I got the following error when building

-> Creating working copy of python-pia git repo...
Cloning into 'python-pia'...
done.
fatal: invalid reference: 3.4

I was able to fix it by prepending a vto the tag

"git+https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia.git#tag=v${pkgver}"

flamusdiu commented on 2020-12-20 14:05 (UTC)

Looks like they removed a bunch of configuration as well. Hmm, working out removing the other configuration options since they do not work.

flamusdiu commented on 2020-12-17 03:41 (UTC)

Hmm, okay. I have some work to do. Apparently, PIA changed the file names and moves stuff around. Let me see how I want to work this out.

mijoharas commented on 2020-12-15 23:18 (UTC)

sorry, the comment I just made was actually for the dev version of this package, I'll cross post it there.

mijoharas commented on 2020-12-15 23:17 (UTC)

Seems even more broken than usual. So I got it working by changing the egrep line in the PKGBUILD to:

    host=$(grep -Po "(?<=remote )[-a-zA-Z.]+" "$file")

I also had to modify python-pia before a could call sudo pia -a. I had to change line 85 in pia/applications/hooks.py to :

        return [h.fqdn for h in properties.get_default_hosts_list() if h.name == re.sub('_', ' ', config_id)][0]

(note the swapped '_' and ' ' there). That seems to have done the trick, but man was this a pain. Either way, vpn working again.

nihilazo commented on 2020-04-13 14:38 (UTC)

The changes to the PKGBUILD mean that the server list is now blank when it installs. This isn't a problem if I roll back a commit to before the PKGBUILD changed.

shnee commented on 2019-12-02 21:08 (UTC)

My vpn-hosts.txt file is empty.

I think the change to "while read -d $"\0" file" from "while read -d $'\0' file" is causing the issue.

What the heck, I thought I updated the hashes. I will fix it again tonight/tomorrow when I get a break.

skrat commented on 2019-10-18 20:20 (UTC)

if you don't monitor those PIA provided OVPN configuration archives for changes, and don't intend to update the checksums, what's the point? Just download them in the build/package step with curl and don't checksum them if PIA doesn't provide checksum files. There's zero point in verifying that.

Storm_FireFox1 commented on 2019-10-04 03:18 (UTC) (edited on 2019-10-04 03:19 (UTC) by Storm_FireFox1)

Fixed the package, simply updated the SHA256 sums.

latest sums to replace by editing PKGBUILD for working build

flamusdiu commented on 2018-11-28 02:39 (UTC)

I just updated it. Sorry, I thought I did already. PIA seems to update these hashes alot (at least of late).

this hash is not working either.

@dslink: I am using yaourt here, and it would only build using the checksums you provided. Thanks.

dslink commented on 2018-09-09 18:15 (UTC)

trizen might be the problem

dslink commented on 2018-09-09 18:11 (UTC)

Updated sums

Also I just did it on another machine using yaourt and it built when I did the PKGBUILD edit when yaourt asked instead of just from the PKGBUILD makepkg -s in a clean dir

flamusdiu commented on 2018-09-09 12:47 (UTC)

@Dslink: I am unsure why that's failing. I'll try and take a look tonight.

dslink commented on 2018-09-09 07:33 (UTC)

Here for anyone sick of waiting for the checksums to be updated https://raymii.org/s/snippets/Arch_Linux_AUR_PKGBUILD_generate_new_checksums.html

I had a problem it wouldn't want to fetch the login-example.conf after I updated the checksum but I had the temp directory from the aur helper in this case trizen (something new I started using because of mkeedlinger's post before I was packer/yaourt) and it had the login-example.conf from the failed fetch/build so I just moved the updated PKGBUILD into that directory and it worked fine. Here is the output on the failure after updating the PKGBUILD and running makepkg -s in a clean directory.

The three that fail for me are ip-lport-3.3.3-5.zip (openvpn-ip-lport.zip), default-3.3.3-5.zip (openvpn.zip), strong-3.3.3-5.zip (openvpn-strong.zip) (in order as below).

If you want it to work now, enter these three SHA256sums into the top three in the PKGBUILD (say yes to editing PKGBUILD on install):

To get these, I downloaded them from the list on this page under the Sources (10) area, then ran sha256sum on them.

@bramswenson: I don't have any issue when using aura and the way it caches packages. Technically, it's pacaur way of caching. Either way, changed the PKGBUILD. I update the pkgrel everytime the PIA changes the zip for one reason or another.

@tom.swartz07: Yeah, I knew about that. Thanks for the link to refresh my memory.

The files that are conflicting should be updated to use the alternative uri path:

bramswenson commented on 2018-01-22 15:44 (UTC)

This build script should not require end users to remove cached packages. It should download the packages with the version name in the downloaded file name. You can do this with the correct formatting of source array entries. This would download the files with some unique id rather than having the same name for every version. Problem solved. Please update your PKGBUILD file so users don't have to repair it manually each time. This is within your power.

Gelmo commented on 2018-01-11 02:19 (UTC)

@10479 This is because pacaur is using the old assets from your cache. I corrected this by deleting my pacaur cache for my user:

rm -rf ~/.cache/pacaur/*

After doing this, it works for me with pacaur -S private-internet-access-vpn

I was stuck on version 3.3.2-5 (now 3.3.3-4) because every week when I run updates, this package doesn't pass the checks. It still worked fine so I didn't really care to mess with it. Anyway, pacaur hates this package for some reason, but grabbing the snapshot and using makepkg worked without a problem. Thanks to the maintainer though for putting in all of the work on this.

@BoneTone: are you sure it was a clean git pull? I just pulled it and it passed and built fine.

1) git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/private-internet-access-vpn.git

2) makepkg -sr --cleanbuild --force

'-sr' adds and removed any depends via Pacman

'--cleanbuild' ensures $srcdir is removed

'--force' forces the build (helpful when I am testing the same build over and over)

nocturnus commented on 2017-12-13 23:08 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Thanks, thats what i was suspecting regarding NM, as i have had success not so long ago with your package. I am actually importing the OpenVPN configs your packages creates for use. I simply have to save a copy with appropriate permissions for me to import and they are good to go in NetworkManager. This is actually much easier than downloading and configuring directly.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-12-13 12:41 (UTC) (edited on 2017-12-13 12:41 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

@nocturmus/Veras: I have no idea why you were downloading those directly. There was no issues when running pia -a with creating the OpenVPN configurations. Also, see https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/38. I'll fix this as soon as I can get a new build up. I guess NM must have changed their paths or something which is why the script isn't creating the NM configurations.

nocturnus commented on 2017-12-12 04:37 (UTC)

@flamusdiu appreciate you taking a look, as @veras said, this can certainly be done manually, but damn if this way isnt convenient.

@Veras appreciate you confirmimg I wasnt off my rocker here. I'll be loading them manual for now until @flamusdiu is able to investigate.

veras commented on 2017-12-11 05:59 (UTC)

@nocturnus I was having the same problem, as a temporary solution I downloaded the OpenVPN config files directly from the site and imported them to NetworkManager. Link: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn.zip

flamusdiu commented on 2017-12-10 23:11 (UTC)

nocturnus, umm, not sure, I'll have to spin up my Arch box (or docker). I am traveling so I'll let you know something soon.

nocturnus commented on 2017-12-10 22:48 (UTC) (edited on 2017-12-10 22:48 (UTC) by nocturnus)

Anyone got any thoughts on why its not generating NetworkManager configs? Or where I should look for possible error output? Debug option currently doensnt provide any info.

It is buildings the OpenVPN configs, and i can manually initate those from console, yet no NM configs. I have tried both without a pia.conf file (thus defaults to all configs) and with, specifing apps variable = nm, but no luck.

Importing OpenVPN configs as described in Troubleshooting on wiki only works if files are copied from '/etc/openvpn/client' and permissions reset to that of user performing the import.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-11-12 19:54 (UTC)

'/etc/connman/connman-vpn.conf' adds some general opts for 'connman-vpn'. Using connman-vpn provides a front-end GUI through applications that hook into it. It's on a matter of prefs. Running 'pia -a' generates the .config files required by connman-vpn and the files for OpenVPN connections.

jD91mZM2 commented on 2017-11-12 08:10 (UTC)

Hey! Sorry for the useless comment, I just wanted to thank you for this awesome package :) It's really helped me a ton! Also, a question: I'm currently using openvpn to connect. Is there any advantage with using connman-vpn? And why isn't `sudo pia -a` creating `/etc/connman/connman-vpn.conf` (using empty config, but also tried one with `hosts` set)?

flamusdiu commented on 2017-10-09 15:28 (UTC)

@ProfessorKaos64: that's odd, I wonder why you have to reboot since in the past that isn't the case. @Everyone: I should post a new update next few days since I am back in the states. =D

If anyone gets an error about tun0, reboot after pia -a to configure.

Thanks for maintaining this, it has made PIA much easier for me, it works without any complaints all the way from build to internet-ing now. A reminder that if anyone is struggling, follow the wiki page for this package. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Private_Internet_Access/AUR

jonascj commented on 2017-09-01 21:07 (UTC) (edited on 2017-09-01 21:11 (UTC) by jonascj)

It might be obvious, but openvpn* is required for this to work. Without openvpn installed '# pia -a' will return success, but no config files will be installed. I'm no PKGBUILD expert, but this one seems to have openvpn as an optional dependency, shouldn't it be a regular dependency? See https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/33 as well. * https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=openvpn

Hi there!!! Thanks for this package!! It installed and worked perfect!! I have one problem/question. At the university I can't connect. I have red that trying port 443 with the TCP protocol could work. The problem I have is that if I change these values manually from network manager it doesn't connect (not even at home where is normally working). Could some one give me a hand with setting up this VPN with tcp port 443?? Best, jose.

@flamusdiu I just had trouble updating through pacaur -Syu, while validating source files openvpn-ip-lport.zip, openvpn.zip, and openvpn-strong.zip they all failed. Then I ran through yaourt -Syu --aur everything passed and now I'm updated. I believe there might be fault with pacaur -Syu when you try to update. I'm not sure but I would request you to look into it. Here is my Ghostbin link: https://ghostbin.com/paste/exncf I have posted troubles while updating and how it just updated.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-04-30 16:31 (UTC)

@chmeresmoreira: Actually, I am extracting ONLY the certificates PIA uses. That line extracts the configs that I use to build which end-points PIA uses. They are not copied outside the building process. I used to copy and stop doing that a long time ago to give the options of different ports and strong encryption. Under [configure] section, you can add "strong_encryption=true" to use the strong encryption stuff. *Note: Looks like I forgot to update the Wiki. Oops. =P

commented on 2017-04-29 23:36 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Hey, why didn't you chose the strongest and more secure config files? In this line: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=private-internet-access-vpn#n53 you are extracting the default config files with the default security level, maybe you could add an option to ask during the installation process what security level to user wants. Anyway, thank you for maintaining this package!

Cavsfan commented on 2017-04-16 17:43 (UTC)

My ISP is Spectrum, formerly Brighthouse. It seems that Charter has merged with Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks to form Spectrum. More monopolies. :( But, my problem is probably not related to Arch and this package because it does the exact same thing on Xubuntu and there is an installer for Debian based systems https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/installer/download_installer_linux There is an applet in the top panel that lets you connect, etc. It does the exact same in Xubuntu as it does in Arch: receives but, does not send email from the same ISP that works good on Windows 10. The conky also behaves the same way: no weather info when PIA is running. But, I never tried conky in Windows and have no interest it it. I have a ticket opened for Linux so, maybe the problem is on their end. Yes, he wrote this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/conky-cairo/

flamusdiu commented on 2017-04-15 20:46 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: flagged due to the zips ... I need to get docker running to fix it. Stuck with a Win Laptop atm and away for work. ::cries:: Wait, he wrote conky-cairo?? Whoa, it's been a while but I have used that before. It's very dam odd that your ISP doesn't work with PIA. Which ISP is it?

Cavsfan commented on 2017-04-15 15:10 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: I tried a bunch of different locations if that is what you meant and they all do the same: they don't work any better. How come it says this package is flagged out of date as of 2017-04-13?

Cavsfan commented on 2017-04-14 20:12 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: Actually all I think I've tried is Florida. I guess I should try some more and see if that works. I never thought about it. The Conky is Conkywx from a friend who is an amazing programmer Paramvir Likhar. He writes it in perl, lua and a few other things. Here is his site: http://foreverquest.blogspot.com/ I am part of his testing group and before the next version is released (version 6.0 now) we test it for months until it is perfect. This conky has actual scrolling text. It takes a movie to show it; a picture doesn't cut it. He also wrote his own conky for Arch which in the AUR called conky-cairo. I can run 13 conkys and the CPU usage is about 15-20%. I am currently using http://www.usnews.com/rss/news for my news but, any site that has an RSS feed can be used. I'll try some different sites and report back. I use Thunderbird with the same setup and ISP as in my Linux distros. So, that is why I didn't get it either. Thanks!

flamusdiu commented on 2017-04-14 18:56 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: that's strange. I use the same configurations that should be used on Windows. What VPN endpoints have you tried? As for Conky: what sites?

Cavsfan commented on 2017-04-14 18:03 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: do you know of any reason why Thunderbird cannot send mail while connected to the VPN? It will receive but, not send. Also my conkys do not work with weather and news sites. I cannot figure it out. I have opened tickets with PIA https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ but, I do not think Linux is their forte. They added my outgoing SMTP server to their whitelist but, it still doesn't work and I don't even know why they should have to add it to a whitelist. In Windows 10 it works a dream but, in Arch and Xubuntu I have the exact same problem. Thanks for all of your efforts

Can the zip files use HTTPS instead of HTTP? They are less likely to be blocked that way, but worse the zips can download with junk contents if a firewall wants to when using http.

@meticulo, the PKGBUILD file has the exact checksums of the files to build the package by. This is used to ensure proper building of the package when files are downloaded.

meticulo commented on 2017-03-05 03:51 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: I used the command you suggested, and the install was a success, but I was hasty and neglected to clone the package. The checksums in the now working PKGBUILD are included below. Forgive my lack of understanding -- would you be willing to explain what this problem was all about? I'm a little daft about these AUR packages. I use the command: cower -vdfu to check for updates and overwrite old stuff. Might that be the source of the problem?

@meticulo: whoops. you can clone the package and run updpkgsums. Update: I just did this and got the same check sums. I wonder if something is wrong when you download it. If you do the command above, post the checksums for me if you get it to install afterwards.

@flamusdiu: Thank you for actively developing this package! Very useful! I have been using and updating for awhile, but I have not been able to upgrade lately due to the following errors (below) following the command: makepkg -sci. Would you kindly explain how I can correct these invalid files and install the new build? Thanks again! ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... openvpn-ip-lport.zip ... FAILED openvpn.zip ...

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-28 03:22 (UTC)

@finch: cool you got it working. If you for some reason do not want to run NetworkManager, you can run Connman or openvpn directly. choice is up two you.

finch commented on 2017-02-26 14:39 (UTC)

@flamusdiu - I don't know much about Docker, so I decided to troubleshoot the network connection instead. I'm using NetworkManager and wasn't able to find any conflicting networkd or dhcpcd services running. However, after I got NetworkManager installed the first time, I have been using WiFi. I plugged into LAN, removed the private-internet-access directory and started again. This time I was able to successfully install your package. I did have one final hiccup. When running pia -a as root, I was informed I needed to run systemctl daemon-reload. After doing that, all VPN connections failed. I rebooted, and everything seems good now. Thanks for your help!

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-23 12:57 (UTC) (edited on 2017-02-23 13:16 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

@finch: very odd. It seems to do something with the setuptools. If I kill my network connection, then try and install it, then I get a similar error. I created a docker container on my windows box to test out installing it in a clean Arch. Docker here: https://hub.docker.com/r/flamusdiu/archlinux-devel/ I create the container then: docker -it flamusdiu/archlinux-devel /bin/fish (or bash) Then you can run the git commands or run "aura -Aakx private-internet-access-vpn"

finch commented on 2017-02-22 01:09 (UTC)

@flamusdiu - here's full output. Looks like everything goes fine right up until "install." http://pastebin.com/wMXfgWGz If there's another way you want me to get output, let me know.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-21 22:22 (UTC)

I would not use IPv6 with the VPN. To my knowledge it doesn't work properly. See: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/21565/ipv6-leaking-despite-ipv6-leak-protection I would disable IPv6 and then do the tests and let me know. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6#Disable_IPv6

newbOnArch commented on 2017-02-21 17:41 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I looked into these links you provided me https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Private_Internet_Access_VPN#Troubleshooting and https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/13. They still cause dns and ipv6 to leak. The weird thing is I'm two websites https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ and http://dnsleak.com/ the first one tells me it's leaking but the second one which is link provided by pia says i'm not. I'm not sure what to do here.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-21 11:17 (UTC)

@finch: Here's my output when I install it: http://pastebin.com/svR07fpf I am using "--cleanbuild --force" to ensure the build process is new and because I already have it installed. It appears to not be able to reach some URL but the out put doesn't say. Can you post the whole build process for me?

finch commented on 2017-02-21 03:13 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: Apologies if I'm misunderstanding. I ran 'git clone' to download the package first, then cd to the new directory. From there, I ran 'makepkg -sri' to attempt to install.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-20 22:44 (UTC)

@flinch: what command did you do for the install?

Cavsfan commented on 2017-02-16 20:01 (UTC)

@flamusdiu, I will keep that in mind. Thanks for your help and thanks for taking the time maintaining this package! Good work! :-)

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-16 18:47 (UTC)

It's good you got it worked out. Just a note: '/etc/opnevpn/pia.conf' doesn't do anything. 'pia.conf' lives in '/etc/private-internet-access/' folder.

Cavsfan commented on 2017-02-16 17:17 (UTC)

That fixed it. Thank you. I had to change it to 1197 from UDP/1197 in both /etc/openvpn/pia.conf and /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf? I changed it in /etc/openvpn/pia.conf, rebooted and it still didn't work. Then I changed it in the /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf file and it worked without rebooting.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-16 11:18 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: Use "1197" instead of "UDP/1197". Each port can only be paired with each protocol so I removed the option for setting the protocol that way. See: https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/hc/en-us/articles/225274288-Which-encryption-auth-settings-should-I-use-for-ports-on-your-gateways- @newbOnArch: You shouldn't leak but depending on certain things, you could.

@flamusdiu I had everything uninstalled for couple days and manually deleted any files that were left on my computer. I reinstalled everything on computer right now and did the same things now it works and the all the vpn connections are in '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections,' but thanks for your helps. I was wondering if you guys had the script to prevent dns and ipv6 leaking in the vpn files. I remember seeing it somewhere either inside openvpn or somewhere else.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-15 11:09 (UTC)

@newOnArch: OpenVPN and NetworkManager store configurations in different places. OpenVPN's configurations are in '/etc/openvpn/client' while NetworkManager is in '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections'. Did you create a '/etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf'? If so, can you post it here. NetworkManager is strange sometimes on how it views connections. Though, as noted here (https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/24) it works with NetworkManager even with the 2.4 update to OpenVPN.

newbOnArch commented on 2017-02-13 00:06 (UTC) (edited on 2017-02-14 05:34 (UTC) by newbOnArch)

Hi, I'm new on arch linux. I'm trying set up my vpn with your packages and followed all the instructions on arch wiki to set up private internet access. I already have all the packages installed like private-internet-access-vpn and networkmanager-openvpn. Even after setting it up, the list of connections for vpns are not showing up on networkmanager. One of the instructions says that after running pia -a as root and restarting the network manager the .conf files should show up in /etc/openvpn but i saw all the .conf files in /etc/openvpn/client. I'm not sure what to do next please help me set this up. I'm using i3. I'm not sure which files are needed to be added to network-connections folder in network manager.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-10 09:27 (UTC)

@kelshas: true, or you can just DL the PKGBUILD and run "updpkgsums" in the folder which will download and update them for you automatically without having to edit the PKGBUILD file directly.

kleshas commented on 2017-02-09 21:10 (UTC)

wjrivera - If you didn't know, you can download those 3 files, run sha256sum against them in a command line, and edit the PKGBUILD (entering those new derived sums) during the private-internet-access build.

wjrivera commented on 2017-02-08 05:40 (UTC)

I'm having the same problem as @kleshas ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... openvpn-ip-lport.zip ... FAILED openvpn.zip ... FAILED openvpn-strong.zip ... FAILED ... did not pass the validity check!

flamusdiu commented on 2017-02-07 15:54 (UTC)

kleshas, looks like they might have updated the zip files. I can't fix it till this weekend. Thanks for letting me know.

kleshas commented on 2017-02-07 06:42 (UTC)

Reinstalled arch. No problems reinstalling various other applications, from AUR and otherwise. private-internet-access-vpn fails every time at "Validating source files with sha256sums" for openvpn-ip-lport.zip, openvpn.zip and openvpn-strong.zip. Happens with various AUR servers (ran reflector on canada and US servers), and with the dev version.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-17 15:41 (UTC)

@TimeQuelch: Dam "d" eating gnomes! =P I'll get an update pushed up. @Cavsfan: dang it. Let me check it again locally.

Cavsfan commented on 2017-01-16 15:43 (UTC)

@flamusdio, nothing changed. I did "sudo pacman -Rs private-internet-access-vpn", which removed it. I don't know what pip is. I tried to look it up to no avail. Anyway I get the same thing. When I enter "pia --version" it just says 3.3 but, when I enter "$ pacman -Qs private-internet-access-vpn local/private-internet-access-vpn 3.3.1-2 But, I still get the same exact errors when I do "sudo pia -a". I have networkmanager, connman and openvpn all 3 installed and before I entered "pia -a" I started the connman-vpn.service.

Cavsfan commented on 2017-01-16 15:18 (UTC)

@flamusdio, I'll give that a try and report back. Thank you

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-16 15:01 (UTC)

@Cavslan: Should be 3.3.1. However in the error you posted, it was showing 3.3b for some reason. I went back and check to make sure that I didn't leave something in the code for the version (I have a bad habit of doing that) but didn't notice anything. Can you remove the package and make sure there isn't a version still installed through pip after removal?

Cavsfan commented on 2017-01-16 14:56 (UTC)

Here's what I get: $ pia --version 3.3 No errors.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-16 03:27 (UTC)

@Cavslan: what do you get when you do `pia --version`?

Cavsfan commented on 2017-01-15 19:04 (UTC)

I had ConnMan installed already so I started it and entered "sudo pia -a". These are the errors I got and pretty sure the same as I got before: $ sudo pia -a Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pia", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('pia==3.3b0', 'console_scripts', 'pia')() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pia/command_line.py", line 23, in main pia.run.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pia/run.py", line 53, in run properties.parse_conf_file() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pia/conf/properties.py", line 271, in parse_conf_file props.port = getattr(configure_section, "port", [props.default_port])[0] File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pia/conf/properties.py", line 158, in port config = self._config_lookup[self._port_lookup[value]['config']] KeyError: 'UDP/1197' Guess, I'll just stick to OpenVPN for now at least.

bennysdad commented on 2017-01-12 19:45 (UTC) (edited on 2017-01-13 01:05 (UTC) by bennysdad)

Hopefully, this will help someone. I could not connect after the last update and sudo pia -a did not help. Neither did a reboot or systemctl restart NetworkManager. I'm lazy and did not want to manually edit all 36 config files as Cavsfan did, so I waited... I'm not patient either... So, it turns out all I had to do was edit one. When I used the NetworkManager "Configure VPN" on the VPN host I usually use, it was looking for the CA Certificate in the old location. Once I told it the new location is /etc/openvpn/client, all the other hosts magically became available with the correct certificate location too. Could the problem have occurred because I had that VPN host connected when I updated the first time?

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-11 20:09 (UTC) (edited on 2017-01-11 20:09 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

TUN/TAP is just how VPNs work. Any VPN software will create these interfaces to push traffic through (which then gets the traffic encrypted). Yes, OpenVPN works from the CLI. Only ConnMan and NM will work from a GUI. It's all a matter of pref.

Cavsfan commented on 2017-01-11 19:45 (UTC)

@flamusdio, I see that OpenVPN is designed to work with the TUN/TAP virtual networking interface. I guess I am OK using OpenVPN right? I also see that OpenVPN Allows running configurations from command-line (from above). Which is probably why I have only CLI options.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-11 04:06 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: yeah, I run OpenVPN directly for testing but use Connman usually. You can also use nm-cli or connmanctl as well. Plenty of options depending on what your needs are.

Cavsfan commented on 2017-01-10 14:11 (UTC) (edited on 2017-01-10 14:13 (UTC) by Cavsfan)

@flamusdio, as I stated I did run from terminal 'sudo pia -a' and I got some errors. But, it all worked out after I took the steps I mentioned. I'm pretty sure it uses OpenVPN as I see that in the terminal output when connecting but, when I connect and look at Network Manager it says I'm connected with Interface: tun0 and the terminal says "TUN/TAP device tun0 opened". I guess I'm good with the cli connection method.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-10 04:15 (UTC)

Cavsfan: You have to run 'pia -a' from the command line to generate your configurations. However, you can use Connman or NetworkManager to control OpenVPN. Or even systemd. If there are other network managers, I would need to add hooks for them before they would see the configurations.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-10 03:14 (UTC)

How did you download the package? Downloading it from here directly or through aura, I don't get those being miss-matched (usually happens when PIA updates their zip files).

@flamusdio This was odd. I figured since Svante got it to work I updated it and entered 'sudo pia -a' (I got some errors that I did not notate) and rebooted. I tried one and it got errors. So I had to manually move the config files from /etc/openvpn to /etc/openvpn/client. Then I had to manually tell each of the 36 config files that ca.rsa.2048.crt and crl.rsa.2048.pem were now in the client directory. Then I had to manually update my 36 aliases with the new client directory too. After doing all that it worked. I have always used an alias in a terminal and left that open as long as necessary. It there supposed to be a GUI way of running this. I don't mind the CLI way but, just asking.

Svante commented on 2017-01-07 19:27 (UTC)

@flamusdio Doesn't matter now. I ran 'sudo pia -a' and rebootet. It works fine now :-)

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-07 19:06 (UTC)

@Svante: /etc/private-internet-access-vpn/pia.conf

Svante commented on 2017-01-07 09:12 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I have updated two computers now with the same problem. Am I the only one with this problem? Can't find pia.conf. Where is this file located?

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-06 18:27 (UTC)

@Svante, can you post your pia.conf and which ever OpenVPN configuration file you are using?

Svante commented on 2017-01-06 06:03 (UTC)

@flamusdio It says something like "country" VPN-connection didn't succeed and VPN-connection was stopped. I'm using Manjaro KDE.

flamusdiu commented on 2017-01-06 03:41 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: yes, I have fixed the change OpenVPN made already.

Cavsfan commented on 2017-01-05 23:02 (UTC)

And without updating PIA still seems to work well.

I've got that package on hold after I seen atrotors statement. Openvpn was recently updated. I got this message when I updated openvpn: This upgrade from openvpn 2.3.14-1 to openvpn 2.4.0-2 made changes that require administrative interaction: -> Configuration is expected in sub directories now. Move your files from /etc/openvpn/ to /etc/openvpn/server/ or /etc/openvpn/client/. -> The plugin lookup path changed, remove extra 'plugins/' from relative paths. -> The systemd unit openvpn@.service was replaced with openvpn-client@.service and openvpn-server@.service. Restart and reenable accordingly. I hope this helps.

Svante commented on 2017-01-05 08:43 (UTC) (edited on 2017-01-05 10:11 (UTC) by Svante)

After the update today, I can't connect to VPN's anymore :-(

atrotors commented on 2017-01-01 02:25 (UTC)

systemctl start openvpn@YOUR_CITY doesn't work with new openvpn update. you need to do openvpn-clien@YOUR_CITY and put conf files in /etc/openvpn/client dev branch is already doing this, use that until this merges

flamusdiu commented on 2016-12-31 04:21 (UTC)

@Hydeh: just kill the OpenVPN process to disconnect from the tunnel. Not really any other way if running OpenVPN directly.

Hydeh commented on 2016-11-16 15:26 (UTC)

@flamusdiu ok so I backed up my files uninstalled private-internet-access-vpn-3.2.2-1 then re-installed pia and everything installed, I just used the command "makepkg -si" to install pia, I had no issue with the installation then I moved the login.conf to the "private-internet-access" folder in the /etc/ dir and then I ran the "pia -a" command through my root account and it worked just fine, So in my /etc/ dir I have only one folder for pia "private-internet-access" no others. I have another question once I connected to a server and closed the terminal I used to make that connection how do I diconnect from it?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-11-16 08:17 (UTC)

@Hydeh: That's odd. Can you uninstall PIA and archive the folder(s)? Then, reinstall it? I want to make sure there isn't some issue where the app is creating the extra folder.

Hydeh commented on 2016-11-15 10:42 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Hi, so I left working on this for a little bit, and after coming back to it I found the problem and fix it and now the vpn is fully working my problem was something really silly there were 2 folder in /etc/ and all I had to do was copy the login.conf file to the 2nd pia folder and now it works fine, thank you :)

@flamusdiu after trying with Sweden.conf at the end I get this output,"Options error: --auth-user-pass fails with '/etc/private-internet-access/login.conf': No such file or directory Options error: Please correct these errors" I must have set it up wrong but I followed your instruction 1, create a login.conf file 2, give it the 0600 permissions so only the root user and root group owns it 3, have only 2 lines top line for username and bottom line for password nothing else, right?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-30 07:56 (UTC)

@Hydeh: make sure you choose a endpoint at then end. For example: sudo openvpn --config /etc/private-internet-access-vpn/US_East.conf It's probably giving the error since the end point conf file. OpenVPN will create/bring up the TUN/TAP device for you.

Hydeh commented on 2016-10-29 22:13 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I tried it again and I'm gettng a different error this time, so I typed in "sudo openvpn --config /etc/private-internet-access-vpn/" and got this output "Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)" I don't know if you may know how to set the TUN/TAP device but atleast things are progressing. I think deleting that extra PIA file helped resolve the previous error, thank you :D

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-28 21:15 (UTC)

@Hydeh running OpenVPN just makes sure the configuration is set right. Now, this really only matters if you are using Connman since most of the OpenVPN options are set within NetworkManager's conf files (it doesn't use the OpenVPN configurations at all). Usually running the OpenVPN command provides feedback if there is an issue with this package.

Hydeh commented on 2016-10-27 16:37 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I created the login.conf file yes, I havan't run sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/sweden.conf/ yet I didn't know I was suppose to run that, after typing sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/sweden.conf' what do I do after that?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-27 15:28 (UTC)

@Hydeh, Thanks you for posting it. It looks right. Did you create the login.conf? Does OpenVPN ask you for your username/password when running 'sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/sweden.conf'?

@Hydeh:Copy/Paste one from '/etc/openvpn' Umm,OTH, you shouldn't have a '/etc/PIA/private-internet-access-vpn' folder. It should be '/etc/private-internet-access'.

Hydeh commented on 2016-10-25 19:48 (UTC)

When I cd to this location "/etc/PIA/private-internet-access-vpn/" there are 2 openvpn.zip files, do I un-zip one and copy the details of them when they are un-zipped? Or do I go to "/etc/openvpn/" and copy paste one of the files from there here?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-25 18:55 (UTC)

@Hydeh: can you post one of the OpenVPN configs?

Hydeh commented on 2016-10-25 00:02 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Hi flamusdiu thank you for the help thus far, I managed to solve the issue with the traceback error by just uninstalling NetworkManager, OpenVPN, and Pia then reinstalling them all again one of the commenters below had the same issue and solved it the same way, but when running the command "pia -a" it can't find the login.conf file, that file only has 2 lines like you said was needed for pia to recognize the details have you ever encountered this problem and do you know of any solution and if anyone reading this maybe able to help I would appreciate it.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-18 18:34 (UTC)

@Svante: haha, that's good. Seems, my laptop is crashed atm. Going to be a little bit to get it working. I have some more things to fix too.

Svante commented on 2016-10-18 05:54 (UTC)

After the latest update, my problem is solved :-) Thank you, @flamusdiu

commented on 2016-10-16 13:45 (UTC)

Thank you for your passion, flamusdiu.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-16 12:50 (UTC)

Finally got the latest version pushed. I'll keep working on the problems as well.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-16 08:20 (UTC)

@Light2Yellow: That is NOT intended. Working on setting up docker on my window's box to work on the issue. I really, really want to put Arch on this laptop but I am in school and don't want to break the laptop (first install on new hardware could have issues).

simthadim commented on 2016-10-16 03:04 (UTC) (edited on 2016-10-16 03:07 (UTC) by simthadim)

Thank you very much for your work. Unfortunately the certificate issue is still there in 3.2-1, see your comment (commented on 2016-10-04 17:54). On a side note, I can connect if I change the config files to 2048 keychains, but for some reason my browsers will not work. ping -c3 www.google.com yields a great result. in Chrome/Firefox --> www.google.com yields a timeout (keeps hanging at 'establishing secure connection'). You guys know what this may be?

Svante commented on 2016-10-12 05:53 (UTC)

Hi. I don't know if it's a problem with the package, but I can't connect. I have installed Private Internet Access on my Computer. I have followed the installation guide from Arch. I can see all the VPN networks, but when I try to connect to any of them, I get an error that says something like "the service that delivered the VPN connection is stopped". I have never seen this error before. I have another computer, that doesn't get this error. What could be wrong?

commented on 2016-10-05 10:00 (UTC)

@flamusdiu it didn't solve the issue, unfortunately. Created a conf, ran sudo pia -a, both login.conf and pia.conf are owned by root, nm was restarted. Still when I edit one of the vpn connections through nm gui it shows me my login, no password and no certificate. However, if I manually enter the password (in the gui) and choose 2048 crt it connects normally. Is this intended?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-04 17:55 (UTC)

@Hydeh: oops, try "Sweden" instead. I think that's a capitalization problem. Let me know if that works for you.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-04 17:54 (UTC)

@Pikr: sorry about that issue. I have fixed it in 3.2.1; however, I can't update the PKG on AUR just yet to push the new version.

Hydeh commented on 2016-10-04 12:23 (UTC) (edited on 2016-10-04 13:43 (UTC) by Hydeh)

@pikr @flamusdiu What is the scripts for connecting to a server I've been using "pia -a sweden" Am I doing something wrong here? Everytime I run pia -a sweden I get this message.

EDIT: solved my Problem by setting the certificate in Settings>Network>Switzerland>identity>certificate to ca.rsa.2048.crt (ca.rsa.4096.crt doesn't work). Still don't know if it is intended to work that way. Hi, so I followed the guide on the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Private_Internet_Access_VPN) and I can't connect to any server with the networkmanager applet (nothing happens). So I try to launch a connexion manually as explained in the wiki and I got the following error(s): Options error: --ca fails with '/etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2096.crt': No such file or directory Options error: --crl-verify fails with '/etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2096.pem': No such file or directory Options error: Please correct these errors. So I looked in /etc/openvpn/ and there are indeed just the files crl.rsa.2048.crt/pem and crl.rsa.4096.crt/pem. Next thing I did is changing /etc/openvpn/Switzerland.conf so that the lines: crl-verify /etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2096.pem ca /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2096.crt now contained 4096 instead of 2096. Didn't work. Changed it to 2048 and this time it worked. (it connects and typing 'what is my ip' on google shows Switzerland) The problem now is I can only connect through the command-line which isn't that handy (and I have to change all the .conf files). Any Idea on how i could get it to work through nm-applet? My pia.conf file: [pia] openvpn_auto_login=true

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-03 16:55 (UTC)

@Hydeh: I don't use nmcli to configure NM. I generate the configuration through a python script (python-pia) and place them where NM expect them. Then, they should populate in NM. @Light2Yellow: At a min, you need to create pia.conf with the following informaiton: [pia] openvpn_auto_login=true Then, run pia -a.

commented on 2016-10-03 11:43 (UTC)

In nm, different vpn connections are no longer populated with needed information (for example, the lack of password) and so it's no longer possible to just choose your vpn connection and it'll work. I don't use pia.conf, my login.conf is configured according to archwiki.

Hydeh commented on 2016-10-03 10:30 (UTC) (edited on 2016-10-03 11:14 (UTC) by Hydeh)

@flamusdiu So I've been looking through the scripts for nmcli and I have no idea how to use that to configure NetworkManager and in turn configure PIA, what are the scripts I would use to configure PIA on the GNOME Dev fourm about nmcli there is nothing on using nmcli to configure PIA, I lost at this point This is the source I was using https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/nmcli.html

Cavsfan commented on 2016-10-02 19:41 (UTC)

@flamusdiu, I thought that was where you had to put the hosts for pia -a to find them. I thought it only build conf files for the hosts in that file. If not there is there any where else we need to add the hosts or is it done automatically? I'll try strong with 1197 but, I could not find the PKGBUILD with which to build a working version. I tried but, ended up with the same thing I had before. I'll wait until you get back and can push a PKG update. Thanks and sorry for butting in.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-02 19:00 (UTC)

Updated Issue #17: https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/17 Looks like I will be able to fix it as soon as I can get to my Linux box.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-02 18:53 (UTC)

I added it here -> https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/releases/tag/v3.0 Did some other fixes later on. If strong encryption isn't working, please let me know. Or better yet, post an issue on GitHub.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-02 18:50 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: Strong *should* be working. That one uses 1197. Also, why do you list all the hosts in your configuration?

Cavsfan commented on 2016-10-02 18:46 (UTC)

@MrOats, you need to change openvpn_auto_login = False to True This will not require password. Also port = UDP/1198 This is the correct port to use. As flamusdiu said pia -l will list all the valid locations, some drop off and some are added. I believe strong_encryption is not working but, I could be wrong. Here's the contents of my /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf file: [pia] openvpn_auto_login = True strong_encryption = False [configure] apps = cm hosts = AU Melbourne, AU Sydney, Brazil, CA Montreal, CA Toronto, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK London, UK Southampton, US California, US Chicago, US East, US Florida, US Midwest, US New York City, US Seattle, US Silicon Valley, US Texas, US West port = UDP/1198

MrOats commented on 2016-10-02 17:44 (UTC)

It also does not set the correct 1197 port for NetworkManager

MrOats commented on 2016-10-02 17:30 (UTC)

The network manager configuration seems to not include the password or certificate file when doing pia -a. [pia] openvpn_auto_login = False strong_encryption = True [configure] apps = nm hosts = Brazil, US Chicago, US Seattle, US East, US Midwest, US West

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-01 18:30 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: I see. Just merged the fix. I can't push a PKG update just yet due to traveling but you can use the Version 3.2.1 in the PKGBUILD for now.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-10-01 16:17 (UTC)

@flamusdiu, What toppy reported: Checked the .conf files ... full path to crt and pem is there but they are listed as ...2096.crt (.pem) .. whoops ! :-) Should be 2048 or 4096. I get this same error. the file names are wrong and I cannot edit the file or it still doesn't work. I'm using the non-dev version. Am I supposed to be using the dev version? Thank you!

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-01 10:56 (UTC)

Dev version -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/private-internet-access-vpn-dev/ You can submit issues on Github -> https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-30 20:45 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: I corrected the place names in /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf and pia -a ran OK. But, am now getting the same error that toppy got. And you cannot edit the file to correct it either.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 20:56 (UTC)

@Hydeh: there is a ubuntu installer (which this is not). This uses either NetworkManager or Conman as the GUI. As for the 'apps' option, it's not required, but allows you to configure a single application (instead of both applications for those that wanted to do that). I added the info to the Wiki since it was missing. Also, port 80 isn't working for me, so the application won't configure it. However, you can also run 'pia -a' then manually change the port in the configuration file found under /etc/openvpn/ and let me know if it works for you.

Hydeh commented on 2016-09-29 20:05 (UTC)

@flamusdiu ok, I have more questions, can I use PIA with the GUI that one would get with the windows version of PIA? And if I create a new pia.conf file with these settings would that be enough for me to connect to a swedish server? [pia] openvpn_auto_login = True [configure] apps = cm hosts = Sweden port = 80 also what is this "apps = cm"?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 19:09 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-29 19:11 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

@Cavsfan: haha, well, must have vanished. =P yes, the OpenVPN configurations should be 600 readable by root only.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 19:09 (UTC)

@Hydeh: you need to make any configuration changes you want to customize your installation in /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf and if you want to auto-login, create your login creds in /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf , then run 'pia -a' to generate your configs.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 17:39 (UTC)

That was CA_North_York (North York, Toronto, ON, Canada) not New York City. :P But, thanks for the way to find out what hosts there are. I'll make note of that.

Hydeh commented on 2016-09-29 17:39 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I followed the wiki like you said and managed to complete the installation, are there any other steps I need to take after installation? I've tried opening the the icon launcher from the application menu and it does nothing.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 17:31 (UTC)

Ok, tried California and got the same error toppy got: Options error: --ca fails with '/etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2096.crt': No such file or directory Options error: --crl-verify fails with '/etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2096.pem': No such file or directory In the /etc/openvpn/ directory it only has these: ca.rsa.2048.crt, ca.rsa.4096.crt and crl.rsa.2048.pem, crl.rsa.4096.pem.

Oh, you can check which VPNs hosts are usable by looking in /etc/private-internet-access/vpn-hosts.txt or 'pia -l'

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 17:26 (UTC)

CA_NEW_YORK should really be US_NEW_YORK_CITY =P

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 17:15 (UTC)

@flamusdiu OK, thanks I'll remember not to reboot from now on. You were right that one was the only one that errored; guess that one dropped off the list. It would have been nice to know that in advance, but then again if we wanted everything to be easy we wouldn't be running Arch Linux would we lol? I have one more little issue. let me try it and I'll get back to you.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 17:09 (UTC)

@Cavsfan: also, you don't need to reboot when you re-install it.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 17:03 (UTC)

OK I'll skip that one and see what happens. Thanks flamusdiu

Cavsfan - I don't have a CA_North_York.conf file (and the pia -a CA_North_York command failed with the same error as yours). I checked pia -a Montreal and it worked fine.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 16:34 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I installed the non-dev version and rebooted.

@Cavlsfan: just pushed a minor fix to the Dev branch. See if that fixes the issue. =D Just remember setting the hosts from command line, you need to do one of the things: 1) encapsulate multiple words in quotes, 2) escape the space with "\", or 3) replace the space with a "_"

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 15:43 (UTC)

If you are on the dev version, try the non-dev one, I think it might be a bit a head when I had some issues last night after building it.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 15:29 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I take that back, the CA_North_York conf does not work and it got the error when built.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 15:25 (UTC)

I was going to say that it still seems to work but the errors are misleading. Should I stay with the dev version or go with the non-dev version. Thanks flamusdiu!

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 15:16 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Let me see about that one. I probably screwed it up somehow. =\

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 00:30 (UTC)

If it's asking for the user name, then you didn't either 1) run pia -a or 2) on the auth-pass line of the config, you need to put the full path to your login creds. The cache password warning is because the default configs on the PIA website do not have the no cache option in it.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-28 22:21 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Tried adding full path to both crt and pem and it then asked for my uid and password. I had the 2048 and 2096 files but once I entered the uid and password. It could not connect to anything. It gave a msg that it could be caching my password and to use an option so it would not be cached, but I know it's supposed to read the uid and password from /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf. I am using the dev version (private-internet-access-vpn-dev 3.1b-1) if that matters.

toppy commented on 2016-09-28 22:02 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Just updated and unable to connect to PIA Checked the .conf files ... full path to crt and pem is there but they are listed as ...2096.crt (.pem) .. whoops ! :-) Should be 2048 or 4096 Thanks flamusidiu

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 19:44 (UTC)

For the CA certs, you need the full path in the config files.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-28 17:07 (UTC)

I tried kleshas' suggestion and went back to the dev version that works. I got the conf files from the website like kleshas mentioned, but I had to change each extension on each and add an underscore so it was continuous: e.g. US California.ovpn I changed to US_California.conf, etc. Here is my alias for this one: alias california='sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/US_California.conf' I rebooted and tried it and it got these errors: $ california [sudo] password for cavsfan: Options error: --ca fails with 'ca.rsa.2048.crt': No such file or directory Options error: --crl-verify fails with 'crl.rsa.2048.pem': No such file or directory Options error: Please correct these errors.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 15:12 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-28 15:17 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

@Cavsfan: I tried 2.9 but that didn't work. It was giving me the same error. Can you post your OpenVPN config and alias, please?

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-28 14:08 (UTC)

I initially installed private-internet-access-vpn version 2.9-2 and it worked fine using my aliases to connect through terminal and then leave that running while using it. It used port 80 by default. It wasn't until yesterday that I upgraded private-internet-access-vpn (2.9-2 -> 3.0-2) and that's when it would no longer work.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 13:16 (UTC)

Looks like 2.9 and 2.8.2 also have the same issue =(

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 12:58 (UTC)

Looks like there is something different in the OpenVPN binaries on both the Window and Android clients that allow it to work over the other ports. It doesn't seem to handshake the same way. In Windows, I couldn't even see the handshake in Wireshark. So frustrating.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 10:37 (UTC)

The only one that I would probably use is 8080 because some ISP actually speed that up. 8080 is used by some proxies and for some odd reason they do that. Other then that you probably wouldn't. My issue is why the heck does it work on my Phone with the different points but not using OpenVPN directly? OpenSSL: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed => Points to a mismatched certification on that port. I'll have to keep digging.

kleshas commented on 2016-09-28 06:29 (UTC)

Can you speak to why one would want to choose TCP/502 over UDP/1198 beyond the possible port blocking by an ISP?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 05:36 (UTC)

Well, so far only the following ports seem to work for me: default = TCP/502, UDP/1198 strong encryption configs => TCP/501, UDP/1197

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 05:12 (UTC)

For some reason the Android version allows connections over port 80, but apparently something missing for it to work here. I'll keep looking to find a solution.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 04:49 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-28 04:50 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

Odd, let me check the ports, they should work. PIA uses different ports depending on what you need. Port 1198 is just the default. Ports 80, 8080, 443, and a few others work as well. However, strong encryption only uses 1197.

kleshas commented on 2016-09-27 23:46 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-27 23:47 (UTC) by kleshas)

@Cavsfan - same error that I got. Check the .conf in /etc/openvpn that you use. Make sure it's udp, port 1198, sha1, aes-128-cbc, 2048 for the pem and crt. That's what fixed the error in dev for me. I checked these settings by downloading the ovpns from the pia site - Support/Client Download and Support/EASY Setup Guides.. (bottom of page)/Advanced OpoenVPN SSL Usage Guides/OpenVPN Configuration Files (Recommended Defaults) and making sure that was the same as the .conf in /etc/openvpn. Looks like you've got port 80 in the .conf, like I did, when port 1198 is what works.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-27 21:52 (UTC)

OK, so I installed the non-dev and tried US east with non-strong and it could not connect.

I uninstalled the non-dev and installed the dev ran sudo pia -a for all the places I had before and it got about the same error. Then I ran just sudo pia -a US_West US_East and it did not error but, neither of them worked. They got an error and tried to connect again, got the same error and so on...

I have seen that error message before, but I haven't seen the network crash. I'll run some testing on it then. I will merge the changes tonight from the dev branch to fix the first issue and I will have to see if there is anything about the crashing. Thanks for letting me know.

kleshas commented on 2016-09-27 15:51 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-27 16:25 (UTC) by kleshas)

@flamusdiu - I definitely ran pia -a, not -r. I just uninstalled non-dev, and installed -dev. Ran sudo pia -a, and it created the .conf in /etc/openvpn. Non-strong works fine. Same error with Strong settings (port 501, using 4096 cert and pem) - after a few seconds of torrenting, I get Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID and the network stack crashes. Everything is fine when browsing. I suspect this error is nothing to do with the AUR package, rather PIA itself. I'll stick with non-strong, UDP for now. Thanks for your help.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-27 12:03 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-27 12:37 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

@keshas: Were you running 'pia -r' by chance? Apparently, when I added a few other things, I managed to break it which caused it to remove the certifications. Can you try again please?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-27 12:02 (UTC)

@Hydeh: that's using the Ubuntu based install provided by PIA. More information about this package can be read from the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Private_Internet_Access_VPN apt-get commands are normally not handled by Arch. Although is possible to get apt-get to work, it's not recommended to run both apt-get and pacman. As for the two packages: libxss1 => libxss (which you can install using pacman -S) and libappindicator is on AUR => https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=libappindicator&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go

Hydeh commented on 2016-09-27 07:05 (UTC)

Hi, have an issue with installing pia on an arch distro when I type ./pia-64v-installer.sh into the terminal it gives me this result, Extracting files... Installing dependencies... Running: sudo apt-get install -y libxss1 libappindicator1 sudo: apt-get: command not found Installation complete! Is there anyway to solve the (apt-get install -y libxss1 libappindicator1) without using the apt-get? I tried using pacman -S but had no luck there. Thanks.

kleshas commented on 2016-09-27 03:52 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-27 04:25 (UTC) by kleshas)

the -dev app worked a little better - pia -a did create the .conf this time (unlike the non-dev version). I still get the error with certificate verify failure. Maybe that issue from a few weeks back with certificates and port 80? edit: I tried using the downloaded settings found in the ovpn files from PIA, none work (connection refused, or crashing the network stack).

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-27 02:53 (UTC)

@cryzed/klesha: can you try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/private-internet-access-vpn-dev/ and see if it works for you. If you have no host list in pia.conf, do a "pia -a" to generate the OpenVPN configurations.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-27 01:30 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-27 01:58 (UTC) by flamusdiu)

@Kleshas: oops, sorry about that. Fixed.He's doing the revert on the AUR Git Repo (not the Github one).

cryzed commented on 2016-09-27 00:06 (UTC)

@kleshas I mentioned in my previous comment how to revert the recent changes. You can also configure "PKGDEST" in /etc/makepkg.conf to store the created package for next time.

kleshas commented on 2016-09-27 00:04 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-27 00:11 (UTC) by kleshas)

Your github page has the wrong date after 3.0: https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/releases shows 2016-10-25. Been trying to work out how to revert this package - yaourt uses /tmp for the cache as I understand it, so I cannot revert after a reboot as Arch has /tmp in RAM, and I don't see any place to download an older version. @cryzed - you just said you reverted to c145... but not how. I've no idea what that file/version is or where to get it.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-26 13:56 (UTC)

@cryzed: I opened an issue on the Github page for it. I'll work it out soon. You can post info there (or check the status).

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-25 18:29 (UTC)

Well, I don't extract the OpenVPN configurations anymore because I auto-generate them. However, I messed up some of the OpenVPN stuff and forgot to actually push out the configs. I'll have to work on this later (college first!).

cryzed commented on 2016-09-25 15:26 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-25 15:31 (UTC) by cryzed)

It's broken again... the configuration files don't get installed into /etc/openvpn for me, causing the systemd unit for OpenVPN fail to start. Reverting to c14506f20311df3c4ad30b10aab6582c2d272d3b fixes the problem temporarily. Added to IgnorePkg again for now.

Alright, I added a new package -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/private-internet-access-vpn-dev/ Please use Github to report issues. There isn't a changelog just yet, but plenty of changes here. This enables the "strong encryption" configs. You need to add "strong_encryption=True" under the "[pia]" section. When you do this, it will ignore any other configurations for ports, protocols, auth, and cipher. If there is any settings that work other then the defaults, please let me know.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-07-23 12:24 (UTC)

I am working on a solution to be able to switch between the "default" and "strong" encryption for those that want to use the other configuration.

flomax commented on 2016-07-20 11:28 (UTC)

Well, that fix I suggested seems to no longer be working.. new patch must have changed something. pia.conf should indeed be blank before running "pia -a"

I managed to get it working by changing the Cipher in Network Manager's VPN Configure...> Edit <VPN Name> > VPN Tab > Advanced > Security > Cipher: Set to AES-128-CBC. Putting anything regarding the cipher in pia.conf would cause `pia -a` to fail for me.

@rootusercyclone If you're getting Messing Section Header errors copy the /etc/private-internet-access-vpn/pia-example.conf to pia.conf. You'll see the example file has section headers i.e. [pia] and [configure].

Worked fine on my laptop but haven't been home to try on my desktop yet.

I suggest not using NetworkManager's OpenVPN plugin at all, you are much better served with the systemd service templates that are installed by the OpenVPN package: "# systemctl start openvpn@<configuration>". It might of course be just me, but I've had horrible problems getting anything to work properly when using NetworkManager-OpenVPN: * https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4p73ih/networkmanageropenvpn_insanity/ * https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/8

wilberfan commented on 2016-07-15 01:03 (UTC) (edited on 2016-07-15 01:47 (UTC) by wilberfan)

I still can't connect. Checked the cipher and the port, all looks well. Attempts to connect via networkmanager fails immediately. Thoughts? [edit] I had to manually edit the VPN connections via nm-connection-editor. For whatever reason the CA Certificate was blank, the port number was still 1194, the security setting hadn't been changed... Does NetworkManager have to be restarted after updating private-internet-access-vpn and running pia -a? Cuz I may not have done that...

flomax commented on 2016-07-15 00:25 (UTC)

After updating then finding myself with the same issue described by Svante and Light2Yellow (connection is ok but no traffic apparent), I seem to have resolved it by creating /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf and adding the line "cipher aes-128-cbc" & all now appears to be working as expected again.

stevendupuis, it's fine here, sha256sum for openvpn.zip is '9739d03ea56dff678d76c8b702c4daf51b671a805e9b8920859275bd47b094cd' and is in the pkgbuild.

stevendupuis commented on 2016-07-14 12:43 (UTC)

Hi Guys .. The openvpn.zip file is failing the sha check - the package fails build: ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Regards,

commented on 2016-07-14 09:19 (UTC)

Okay, the problem was on PIA's side, I'm sorry for my message, flamusdiu. The package just gets broken relatively often, for different reasons, but it does. Svante, I have exactly the same problem. I'm using networkmanager. The solution is to Edit the connection through NM's interface and on Security tab set AES-128-CBC instead of Default cipher. I don't know where the default value is being set.

Svante commented on 2016-07-14 07:26 (UTC)

Mine is still not working :-( I can now connect to the VPN's, but it blocks my internet connection? If I run 'sudo pia -a' I get a lot of output. Here is some of it: client dev tun proto udp remote nl.privateinternetaccess.com 1198 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun cipher aes-128-cbc auth sha1 tls-client remote-cert-tls server auth-user-pass /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf comp-lzo verb 1 reneg-sec 0 crl-verify /etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2048.pem ca /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2048.crt auth-nocache script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh

@flamusdiu, Thank you for fixing this so quickly!

flamusdiu commented on 2016-07-14 02:59 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. NOTE: Only the "normal" strength work atm. I'll add support for the strong ones in the next day or so.

nigeil commented on 2016-07-14 02:01 (UTC) (edited on 2016-07-14 02:07 (UTC) by nigeil)

CHILL CHILL, FELLOW FRIENDS, this problem now appears to be resolved. The UDP port that PIA uses has changed, but for whatever reason the downloaded zip scripts don't reference this. Use UDP port 1198 NOT 1194, and login should be successful. proto udp remote us-east.privateinternetaccess.com 1198 Use sudo sed -i 's/1194/1198/g' /etc/openvpn/*.conf to change all of the ports (only if this directory houses PIA scripts exclusively) Contacting tech support was helpful. Someone needs to update the PKGBUILD to download the newest openvpn.zip files, they have the changed ports. Also, commenters need to chill out, it was clear that the issue was being looked into by community members, I don't blame the package maintainer one bit for this, you keep doing you guy.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-07-14 01:22 (UTC)

I know -- I saw the article the same day they posted it. I just didn't realize at first they changed their default configurations as well as added the "strong" ones.

stevendupuis commented on 2016-07-14 00:44 (UTC)

PIA is making some changes after deciding to leave the Russian territories. However, the package is still broken. Please fix it. Thanks ...

twisted-space commented on 2016-07-13 15:44 (UTC)

This seems to be an issue with PIA themselves, see https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/21796/vpn-connection-failed-message-with-new-configuration-files

stevendupuis commented on 2016-07-13 13:32 (UTC)

Yes, please fix the package - PIA has updated their security.

commented on 2016-07-13 09:13 (UTC)

Thanks for the broken package. Again. Nothing personal, but would you be so kind to test the package before updating?

cryzed commented on 2016-07-12 11:51 (UTC)

@nigeil, thank you! This is very much appreciated!

nigeil commented on 2016-07-12 04:44 (UTC)

I've done some fiddling with the openvpn-strong.zip files that PIA also provides, but to no avail. However, using the regular (new) certificates and keys and switching to TCP on port 502: proto tcp remote us-east.privateinternetaccess.com 502 DOES seem to work! I've opened a support ticket with PIA, and will report back with what I learn. I think this is a certificate issue on their end; see http://serverfault.com/questions/348967/openvpn-self-signed-certificate-in-chain

cryzed commented on 2016-07-12 01:40 (UTC) (edited on 2016-07-12 02:25 (UTC) by cryzed)

The changed openvpn.zip is very likely related to this: http://i.imgur.com/34OWqSk.png. I bit the bullet and manually updated the pkgsums and installed it, unfortunately connection the VPN now fails with the error: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4828be19ed622abad2cba721a073cabe. So does this mean that the certificate file shipped with the openvpn.zip doesn't match the certificate on the server, or is the problem that it is actually a self-signed (by PIA)? If so, shouldn't the shipped configuration files allow this? I'm confused. Doesn't look good. Does anyone by any chance have the old openvpn.zip lying around?

I successfully installed the package and I'm able to connect to the VPNs using networkmanager. However I always have long time "resolving host" message in chromium whenever attempting to connect to a website, doing a speedstest however results in my max bandwidth normally. Why does this happens? I tried to change ports\TCP-UDP without success, using the PIA app on windows on the same network (got a dual boot setup) works fine. Edit: Using PPTP\L2TP under Arch (manually set following PIA Client page instructions) doesn't give this issue. Edit2: Under a more restrictive network I noticed that this setup can't even reach the PIA servers, **the windows APP works fine instead** -> Long story short this more restricted network has it's own DNS table and it's own CA. Using an IP lookup service I managed to connect the PIA servers using the direct IP instead of the name.privateinternetaccess.com address.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-05-30 12:50 (UTC)

@cryzed: no worries. Probably better to post on the github for python project for suggestions; I will usually see that first.The hooks made sense (and fun to figure out). I still have my issue with `pia -r` which I'll fix. Glade it's working for everyone again! =)

cryzed commented on 2016-05-30 12:40 (UTC) (edited on 2016-05-30 12:41 (UTC) by cryzed)

@flamusdiu, thank you, everything works now! I appreciate you taking some of my suggestions to heart -- it wasn't mean to sound overly critical or snobby, in fact I'm very grateful to you for providing an easy of setting all this up. The term network stack was probably badly chosen, what I experienced were probably problems specific to me -- including NetworkManager not recognizing any connections for a short while. I understand now that the root escalation isn't avoidable. Thanks again!

mindofthemad commented on 2016-05-30 07:30 (UTC)

flamusdiu commented on 2016-05-30 03:10 (UTC)

@mindofthemad: which end point? Also, can you post the configuration file for it?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-05-30 03:09 (UTC)

@kleshas: fixed the update-resolv-conf problem. The patch is due to the source using 'which' to locate resolvconf instead of 'type -p'

mindofthemad commented on 2016-05-30 02:39 (UTC)

The new update still has trouble connecting sha256. it authenticates the connection but i cant ping the network

flamusdiu commented on 2016-05-30 02:02 (UTC)

@kleshas: wth ... that's odd (and new too). I wonder if I broken something for running the configs directly with OpenVPN (which I do not do that often). Sorry about breaking it.

kleshas commented on 2016-05-30 01:59 (UTC)

This package broke for me since the update last week. I've been applying the patches that were released today, but I still get an error: $sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/CA_Toronto.conf Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh': No such file or directory (and yes, there is no such file there)

@cryzed: there isn't a way to run 'pia -a' without root escalation because the login.conf file is read only by root and where both NM and CM store configuration files are also root only writes. * Users don't have to do an extra step after installation <<-- this can actually be done anyway. Problem would be if people wanted to customize it before they run "pia -a." * Users won't have to trust your script to not accidentally destroy their system (no root) <<-- it has to run as root as stated above. * If "pia -a" fails, the entire build fails, preventing a potentially misconfigured networking stack <<--I don't know how my script would destroy your network stack. VPN configs sure for some reason but not the whole network stack. As for the pacman hook, never though of adding one actually; so, I have no idea how I could decide against it in the first place. =\

cryzed commented on 2016-05-29 00:24 (UTC)

Another thing: What do you think about running "pia -a" (without root escalation) on the package before installing it, instead of having the user run the script manually? It's not like people are constantly switching between network management solutions (i.e. NetworkManager and ConnMan), so doing it during the installation would remove a few problems: * Users don't have to do an extra step after installation * Users won't have to trust your script to not accidentally destroy their system (no root) * If "pia -a" fails, the entire build fails, preventing a potentially misconfigured networking stack * Changes to the filesystem are tracked by the package manager (as they should be) Additonally, if you really want to preserve the ability to regenerate configuration files on-the-fly, you could probably just add pacman hooks that trigger for connman and networkmanager (un)installations. Is there a reason you decided against this?

cryzed commented on 2016-05-28 02:07 (UTC) (edited on 2016-05-28 02:41 (UTC) by cryzed)

The new version breaks for me, see: https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/6. After having removed the NetworkManager configuration files with "pia -r" and failing to regenerate them with "pia -a", the configuration files were predictably missing.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-05-27 22:19 (UTC)

Pushed new version. let me know if there are any odd issues. You can post on the github page for python-pia. Thanks!

This should depend on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openvpn-update-resolv-conf or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openvpn-update-resolv-conf-git instead of bundling it. Note that the script name is slightly different in the openvpn-update-resolv-conf package: the *.sh extension is missing.

@flamusdiu That command only lists all of the available PIA configurations - using it didn't change anything. My VPN disconnected randomly today and it got a warning message in one of my terminals: "Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool!" I had to restart the service and then enter the username and password again. This started happening after I updated this package. ----------------------- Is the wiki still correct? Should the username and password be located at: /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf ?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-01-14 19:59 (UTC)

@qKUqm3wtY4: run "sudo pia -l" then try again.

I've been using this package for about a year now with no problems. The last time I updated and restarted (yesterday), the systemd service failed auth silently. As a result, I was running raw dog for a day. Once I discovered it, I attempted to restart the service manually and it asked for my auth username and password despite that I've had a login.conf file correctly configured for about a year. I've double checked and everything is correct. When I enter the username and password, it connects as expected. I have root disabled on this machine. This is the only unique circumstance that I can think would cause this problem, but if it is causing the problem, I don't understand why. Sudo, users and groups are configured correctly afaik.

I tried installing this on a fresh antergos VM, and after connecting to VPN, here is my route -n output: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 enp0s3 10.127.1.6 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 50 0 0 tun0 185.3.135.34 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 100 0 0 enp0s3 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 enp0s3 Here is the route -n output on my similarly configured Ubuntu 15.10 VM: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.110.1.5 0.0.0.0 UG 50 0 0 tun0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 enp0s3 5.153.233.42 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 100 0 0 enp0s3 10.110.1.1 10.110.1.5 255.255.255.255 UGH 50 0 0 tun0 10.110.1.5 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0 10.110.1.5 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 950 0 0 tun0 10.110.1.6 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 50 0 0 tun0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 enp0s3 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 enp0s3 Has a new version of OpenVPN changed the defaults?

@Svante: this package is DE independent. You just need to use either Network Manager or Connman and whatever GUI you want.

Is there any way to enable DNS protection? I'm getting all sorts of leaks as it is. Edit: I fixed it by changing foreign_option_1 and _2 in update-resolve-conf.sh

@splurben: Do you have git installed properly? I have git version 2.6.2. I did the following commands: ~> git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/private-internet-access-vpn.git ~> cd private-internet-access-vpn -> makepkg -sri Works for me.

splurben commented on 2015-10-27 03:57 (UTC)

I have many other AUR packages installed without a problem but on private-internet-access-vpn.tar.gz 2.4.6-4 I get the following error: $ makepkg -sri ==> ERROR: Cannot find the git package needed to handle git sources. Am I missing a GIT implementation possibly?

nogz commented on 2015-10-25 23:50 (UTC)

I completely removed it and all the config files, removed openvpn, removed networkmanager-openvpn and reinstalled starting with pia and it worked. There must have been some conflict with those packages being installed already.

flamusdiu commented on 2015-10-25 23:43 (UTC)

Oops ... I wonder if I did my new changes on the wrong branch. I'll probably fix it tomorrow. I have school work to finish tonight. Sorry about that!

flamusdiu commented on 2015-01-06 03:50 (UTC)

@musasabi: how are you starting the VPN? It works for me both through NetworkManager and CLI (using openvpn command). Make sure the login.conf has only two lines and no extra spaces after your login information.

flamusdiu commented on 2015-01-06 02:42 (UTC)

@musasabi, let me see what I can find out. Thanks for the report back.

musasabi commented on 2015-01-06 02:02 (UTC)

Just grabbed your package and it seems to have set everything up properly, except that OpenVPN gives me an AUTH_FAILED. Other than that my account otherwise works with the credentials I've got in /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf and that login.conf is root:root and 600, here's what I did: Installed openvpn and your scripts. Filled in the login information and renamed the file to login.conf Ran pia-auto-login.pi as root with -l Ran openvpn as root with my suitable location conf And that results in AUTH_FAILED. I changed my password twice (both times verifying that PIA's web interface still let me in) and am out of ideas. Sorry for being a VPN newb, but everything on your end seems to be correct despite my login being rejected!

flamusdiu commented on 2015-01-05 00:05 (UTC)

Lots of changes here. Uploaded PKGBUILD + source files to here: https://github.com/flamusdiu/aur-pkgbuilds/blob/master/private-internet-access-vpn/ You can submit packages changes on Github. Moved all extra files to the source.gz to better install them. Added `pia-auto-login.py` which will setup VPN credentials. However, there are a couple of issues you need to be aware of: 1) This script will not run if not run from `root` or through `sudo` 2) Log-in information is stored /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf in the same format as openvpn. It requires 2 lines of information: username (line 1) and password (line 2). This must be owned by root with permissions of 600 or my script will stop. 3) There is no filter for remote servers. It's all or none (might add filtering later). If there are any issues right now, please post here (or better on Github).

rabarrett commented on 2014-12-10 02:05 (UTC)

Your most recent update fails for me complaining: "mkdir: cannot create directory 'vpn-configs': File exists" Of course, I don't want it to replace my modified files, but it seems an update should deal with that better. Otherwise I'll have to tell pacman to ignore updates to that package (which is fine, but sub-optimal).

rabarrett commented on 2014-12-10 02:02 (UTC)

I got it working with nmcli-dmenu with dwm. It required a combination of importing the profiles with nmcli-demnu and then editing them to include user info in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/. Now I can choose whichever one I want from the nmcli-dmenu that drops down and it shows a * by whichever profile is active. (Oh, I also have them activated by NetworkManager by adding a simple script (from the arch wiki on openvpn) that I place in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openvpn

mikezackles commented on 2014-12-09 18:49 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: Sure, your call. Note that my password solution should also work with environment variables, is completely optional, and has no moving parts after install.

flamusdiu commented on 2014-12-09 18:18 (UTC)

@mikezackles: I think I am going to setup the auto-login differently. I would rather not have ppl edit the PKGBUILD for it. I can do it through a shell script instead. I'll add that in later. I added the DNS stuff in already.

flamusdiu commented on 2014-12-09 17:59 (UTC)

@rabarret: I have been using NetworkManager applet which works fine. @mikezackles: I'll get that added. I've been busy with Ingress stuff.

mikezackles commented on 2014-12-08 21:42 (UTC)

@flamusdiu -- thanks for including and adding the suspend stuff! If it's helpful, I updated the PKGBUILD I linked earlier to do DNS switching and automatic login. Automatic login is optional and requires the user to edit the PKGBUILD to add their username/password.

mbennehar commented on 2014-12-08 18:00 (UTC)

@rabarret I'm using awesome without a desktop manager. I'm using netctl-auto for LAN as a systemd service "systemctl enable netctl-auto@interface". To use this openvpn configuration you should start/enable openvpn systemd service for the profile (e.g. systemctl enable openvpn@Netherlands). More details: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/netctl https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN

rabarrett commented on 2014-12-07 22:04 (UTC)

I've wasted a lot of time trying to manually make pia into nmcli connections (got close, but not quite there after hours). Now I'm pleased to have found this in the AUR; it installed fine, but I'm not sure how to use it. How are you launching these after you install this from AUR? Does anyone use networkmanager or are you doing something else? I'm running dwm (and have no Desktop Environment). I've played around with dmenu-nmcli also, but without any luck. (nm-applet isn't great under dwm and I'd rather not install a status bar)

flamusdiu commented on 2014-12-06 02:02 (UTC)

@mikezackles, I didn't even realize there was a systemd for OpenVPN. I use the NetworkManager applet to control the VPN when I need it. I also added the patches for the VPN on restart when computer goes to sleep. If you have any issues, let me know, thanks!

mikezackles commented on 2014-12-05 19:05 (UTC)

I updated the checksum and made things a bit more systemd friendly if anyone finds it useful: https://gist.github.com/mikezackles/0fa3928625d4c6242db5
