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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

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.

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.

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

@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.
