Note that this package provides only VPN profiles but not the vendor’s software.

The package version refers to the python-pia tool by @flamusdiu, which may lag behind the vendor’s own VPN software version.

Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.

Thank you!

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

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

I'm not sure I understand how to use this package. After installing it, should I be seeing a list of VPN servers I can connect to?

I needed to install https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/openresolv/ or else I get: /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh: line 56: -x: command not found Might be a good idea to add it to dependencies

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 Ah, yes I deleted the old build files and started again, and everything built just fine :) Thanks!
