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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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: which error was that? I was looking through the comments but I only notice the mis-named files (which was fixed).

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-30 20:45 (UTC)

@flamusdiu: I corrected the place names in /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf and pia -a ran OK. But, am now getting the same error that toppy got. And you cannot edit the file to correct it either.

@Hydeh: there is a ubuntu installer (which this is not). This uses either NetworkManager or Conman as the GUI. As for the 'apps' option, it's not required, but allows you to configure a single application (instead of both applications for those that wanted to do that). I added the info to the Wiki since it was missing. Also, port 80 isn't working for me, so the application won't configure it. However, you can also run 'pia -a' then manually change the port in the configuration file found under /etc/openvpn/ and let me know if it works for you.

@flamusdiu ok, I have more questions, can I use PIA with the GUI that one would get with the windows version of PIA? And if I create a new pia.conf file with these settings would that be enough for me to connect to a swedish server? [pia] openvpn_auto_login = True [configure] apps = cm hosts = Sweden port = 80 also what is this "apps = cm"?

@Cavsfan: haha, well, must have vanished. =P yes, the OpenVPN configurations should be 600 readable by root only.

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 19:09 (UTC)

@Hydeh: you need to make any configuration changes you want to customize your installation in /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf and if you want to auto-login, create your login creds in /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf , then run 'pia -a' to generate your configs.

That was CA_North_York (North York, Toronto, ON, Canada) not New York City. :P But, thanks for the way to find out what hosts there are. I'll make note of that.

Hydeh commented on 2016-09-29 17:39 (UTC)

@flamusdiu I followed the wiki like you said and managed to complete the installation, are there any other steps I need to take after installation? I've tried opening the the icon launcher from the application menu and it does nothing.

Ok, tried California and got the same error toppy got: 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 In the /etc/openvpn/ directory it only has these: ca.rsa.2048.crt, ca.rsa.4096.crt and crl.rsa.2048.pem, crl.rsa.4096.pem. Also the conf file has this in it and I'm not sure about the script-security 2 part. It did give me a warning about other scripts being able to be executed by this script. Or something to that effect. client dev tun proto udp remote us-california.privateinternetaccess.com 1198 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun cipher aes-128-cbc auth sha1 tls-client remote-cert-tls server auth-user-pass /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf comp-lzo verb 1 reneg-sec 0 crl-verify /etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2096.pem ca /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2096.crt disable-occ auth-nocache script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh I was also wondering if all of these conf files in /etc/openvpn/ are supposed to be only viewable by root?
