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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

@flamusdiu after trying with Sweden.conf at the end I get this output,"Options error: --auth-user-pass fails with '/etc/private-internet-access/login.conf': No such file or directory Options error: Please correct these errors" I must have set it up wrong but I followed your instruction 1, create a login.conf file 2, give it the 0600 permissions so only the root user and root group owns it 3, have only 2 lines top line for username and bottom line for password nothing else, right?

@Hydeh: make sure you choose a endpoint at then end. For example: sudo openvpn --config /etc/private-internet-access-vpn/US_East.conf It's probably giving the error since the end point conf file. OpenVPN will create/bring up the TUN/TAP device for you.

@flamusdiu I tried it again and I'm gettng a different error this time, so I typed in "sudo openvpn --config /etc/private-internet-access-vpn/" and got this output "Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)" I don't know if you may know how to set the TUN/TAP device but atleast things are progressing. I think deleting that extra PIA file helped resolve the previous error, thank you :D

@Hydeh running OpenVPN just makes sure the configuration is set right. Now, this really only matters if you are using Connman since most of the OpenVPN options are set within NetworkManager's conf files (it doesn't use the OpenVPN configurations at all). Usually running the OpenVPN command provides feedback if there is an issue with this package.

@flamusdiu I created the login.conf file yes, I havan't run sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/sweden.conf/ yet I didn't know I was suppose to run that, after typing sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/sweden.conf' what do I do after that?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-27 15:28 (UTC)

@Hydeh, Thanks you for posting it. It looks right. Did you create the login.conf? Does OpenVPN ask you for your username/password when running 'sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/sweden.conf'?

@Hydeh:Copy/Paste one from '/etc/openvpn' Umm,OTH, you shouldn't have a '/etc/PIA/private-internet-access-vpn' folder. It should be '/etc/private-internet-access'.

Hydeh commented on 2016-10-25 19:48 (UTC)

When I cd to this location "/etc/PIA/private-internet-access-vpn/" there are 2 openvpn.zip files, do I un-zip one and copy the details of them when they are un-zipped? Or do I go to "/etc/openvpn/" and copy paste one of the files from there here?

flamusdiu commented on 2016-10-25 18:55 (UTC)

@Hydeh: can you post one of the OpenVPN configs?
