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.

@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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

install -D -m 644 restart.conf "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/system/openvpn-client@.service.d/restart.conf"
install -D -m 755 vpn.sh "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/system/systemd/system-sleep/vpn.sh"
I think these should be:
install -D -m 644 restart.conf "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/openvpn-client@.service.d/restart.conf"
install -D -m 755 vpn.sh "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/vpn.sh"

@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.

Note that this package provides only VPN profiles but not the vendor’s software.
The package version refers to the
python-piatool 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-piaversion.Thank you!
