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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

And without updating PIA still seems to work well.

I've got that package on hold after I seen atrotors statement. Openvpn was recently updated. I got this message when I updated openvpn: This upgrade from openvpn 2.3.14-1 to openvpn 2.4.0-2 made changes that require administrative interaction: -> Configuration is expected in sub directories now. Move your files from /etc/openvpn/ to /etc/openvpn/server/ or /etc/openvpn/client/. -> The plugin lookup path changed, remove extra 'plugins/' from relative paths. -> The systemd unit openvpn@.service was replaced with openvpn-client@.service and openvpn-server@.service. Restart and reenable accordingly. I hope this helps.

Svante: can you give me more information on what happens when you try and connect?

After the update today, I can't connect to VPN's anymore :-(

systemctl start openvpn@YOUR_CITY doesn't work with new openvpn update. you need to do openvpn-clien@YOUR_CITY and put conf files in /etc/openvpn/client dev branch is already doing this, use that until this merges

@Hydeh: just kill the OpenVPN process to disconnect from the tunnel. Not really any other way if running OpenVPN directly.

@flamusdiu ok so I backed up my files uninstalled private-internet-access-vpn-3.2.2-1 then re-installed pia and everything installed, I just used the command "makepkg -si" to install pia, I had no issue with the installation then I moved the login.conf to the "private-internet-access" folder in the /etc/ dir and then I ran the "pia -a" command through my root account and it worked just fine, So in my /etc/ dir I have only one folder for pia "private-internet-access" no others. I have another question once I connected to a server and closed the terminal I used to make that connection how do I diconnect from it?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-11-16 08:17 (UTC)

@Hydeh: That's odd. Can you uninstall PIA and archive the folder(s)? Then, reinstall it? I want to make sure there isn't some issue where the app is creating the extra folder.

@flamusdiu Hi, so I left working on this for a little bit, and after coming back to it I found the problem and fix it and now the vpn is fully working my problem was something really silly there were 2 folder in /etc/ and all I had to do was copy the login.conf file to the 2nd pia folder and now it works fine, thank you :)
