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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

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.

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.

Not installing for me :(

Guys, I think it's pretty obvious what's wrong. PIA have added vpn configs to openvpn.zip and openvpn-strong.zip, so their sha256sums have changed. Download those two files and run sha256sum on them, the replace the first two lines of the sha256sums section with the new sums you just calculated. Easy! I've even done it for you:

I'll tell Jesse about this since he's forgotten about this package.

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