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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

@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.

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

@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.

@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).

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)

@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!

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

@thewooster: Did you manually install the configs? If you did, that's why are you getting this error. You need to remove the configs then install the package.
