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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

@Hydeh: oops, try "Sweden" instead. I think that's a capitalization problem. Let me know if that works for you.

@Pikr: sorry about that issue. I have fixed it in 3.2.1; however, I can't update the PKG on AUR just yet to push the new version.

@pikr @flamusdiu What is the scripts for connecting to a server I've been using "pia -a sweden" Am I doing something wrong here? Everytime I run pia -a sweden I get this message. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pia", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('pia==3.0', 'console_scripts', 'pia')() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 567, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2604, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2264, in load return self.resolve() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2270, in resolve module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/__init__.py", line 21, in <module> from . import utils, run File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/utils/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from . import log, misc File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/utils/log.py", line 21, in <module> from pia.conf import settings File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/conf/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> from . import properties, settings File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/conf/properties.py", line 302, in <module> props = Props() # creates global property object File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/conf/properties.py", line 60, in __init__ self._pia_hosts_list = get_pia_hosts_list() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/conf/properties.py", line 296, in get_pia_hosts_list h, d = host.replace('\n', '').split(',') ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

EDIT: solved my Problem by setting the certificate in Settings>Network>Switzerland>identity>certificate to ca.rsa.2048.crt (ca.rsa.4096.crt doesn't work). Still don't know if it is intended to work that way. Hi, so I followed the guide on the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Private_Internet_Access_VPN) and I can't connect to any server with the networkmanager applet (nothing happens). So I try to launch a connexion manually as explained in the wiki and I got the following error(s): Options error: --ca fails with '/etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2096.crt': No such file or directory Options error: --crl-verify fails with '/etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2096.pem': No such file or directory Options error: Please correct these errors. So I looked in /etc/openvpn/ and there are indeed just the files crl.rsa.2048.crt/pem and crl.rsa.4096.crt/pem. Next thing I did is changing /etc/openvpn/Switzerland.conf so that the lines: crl-verify /etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2096.pem ca /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2096.crt now contained 4096 instead of 2096. Didn't work. Changed it to 2048 and this time it worked. (it connects and typing 'what is my ip' on google shows Switzerland) The problem now is I can only connect through the command-line which isn't that handy (and I have to change all the .conf files). Any Idea on how i could get it to work through nm-applet? My pia.conf file: [pia] openvpn_auto_login=true

@Hydeh: I don't use nmcli to configure NM. I generate the configuration through a python script (python-pia) and place them where NM expect them. Then, they should populate in NM. @Light2Yellow: At a min, you need to create pia.conf with the following informaiton: [pia] openvpn_auto_login=true Then, run pia -a.

In nm, different vpn connections are no longer populated with needed information (for example, the lack of password) and so it's no longer possible to just choose your vpn connection and it'll work. I don't use pia.conf, my login.conf is configured according to archwiki.

@flamusdiu So I've been looking through the scripts for nmcli and I have no idea how to use that to configure NetworkManager and in turn configure PIA, what are the scripts I would use to configure PIA on the GNOME Dev fourm about nmcli there is nothing on using nmcli to configure PIA, I lost at this point This is the source I was using https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/nmcli.html

Cavsfan commented on 2016-10-02 19:41 (UTC)

@flamusdiu, I thought that was where you had to put the hosts for pia -a to find them. I thought it only build conf files for the hosts in that file. If not there is there any where else we need to add the hosts or is it done automatically? I'll try strong with 1197 but, I could not find the PKGBUILD with which to build a working version. I tried but, ended up with the same thing I had before. I'll wait until you get back and can push a PKG update. Thanks and sorry for butting in.
