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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

I was going to say that it still seems to work but the errors are misleading. Should I stay with the dev version or go with the non-dev version. Thanks flamusdiu!

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Let me see about that one. I probably screwed it up somehow. =\

I was going to build them one at a time, but the 1st that errored before still errors now: $ sudo pia -a CA_North_York Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pia", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('pia==3.1b0', 'console_scripts', 'pia')() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/command_line.py", line 23, in main pia.run.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/run.py", line 55, in run [globals()[k]() for k, v in props.commandline.__dict__.items() if File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/run.py", line 56, in <listcomp> not k == 'hosts' and getattr(props.commandline, k, None)] File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/run.py", line 104, in auto_configure app.config(config) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/applications/appstrategy.py", line 86, in config self.app.config(config_id) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/applications/hooks.py", line 161, in config "##remote##": ApplicationStrategyOPENVPN.get_remote_address(config_id), File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/applications/hooks.py", line 74, in get_remote_address return [h.fqdn for h in properties.props.default_hosts_list if h.name == re.sub('_', ' ', config_id)][0] IndexError: list index out of range

@flamusdiu I just tried sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/AU_Melbourne.conf and it worked. Wonder why it won't work with all the locations.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-29 14:30 (UTC)

pia -a does not work for all of the location provided by pia: sudo pia -a AU_Melbourne AU_Sydney Brazil CA_North_York CA_Toronto Denmark Finland France Germany Hong_Kong India Ireland Israel Italy Japan Mexico Netherlands New_Zealand Norway Romania Singapore Sweden Switzerland Turkey UK_London UK_Southampton US_California US_East US_Florida US_Midwest US_New_York_City US_Seattle US_Silicon_Valley US_Texas US_West I tried dropping one by one and when I added the first 4 - pia -a AU_Melbourne AU_Sydney Brazil CA_North_York It got this error (same as when I add more): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pia", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('pia==3.1b0', 'console_scripts', 'pia')() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/command_line.py", line 23, in main pia.run.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/run.py", line 55, in run [globals()[k]() for k, v in props.commandline.__dict__.items() if File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/run.py", line 56, in <listcomp> not k == 'hosts' and getattr(props.commandline, k, None)] File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/run.py", line 104, in auto_configure app.config(config) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/applications/appstrategy.py", line 86, in config self.app.config(config_id) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/applications/hooks.py", line 161, in config "##remote##": ApplicationStrategyOPENVPN.get_remote_address(config_id), File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pia/applications/hooks.py", line 74, in get_remote_address return [h.fqdn for h in properties.props.default_hosts_list if h.name == re.sub('_', ' ', config_id)][0] When I dropped of the 4th one and went with 3, it did not error - sudo pia -a AU_Melbourne AU_Sydney Brazil I did not create the conf files with pia -a I used before but and am now and cannot get it to work.

For /etc/openvpn/US_California.conf: 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.2048.pem ca /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2048.crt Should look like that. When you run 'pia -a' with 'openvpn_auto_login' set to true, then it should auto configure the 'auth-user-pass' for you. The crl-verify and ca should be setup when it installs. disable-occ

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-29 00:30 (UTC)

If it's asking for the user name, then you didn't either 1) run pia -a or 2) on the auth-pass line of the config, you need to put the full path to your login creds. The cache password warning is because the default configs on the PIA website do not have the no cache option in it.

Cavsfan commented on 2016-09-28 22:21 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Tried adding full path to both crt and pem and it then asked for my uid and password. I had the 2048 and 2096 files but once I entered the uid and password. It could not connect to anything. It gave a msg that it could be caching my password and to use an option so it would not be cached, but I know it's supposed to read the uid and password from /etc/private-internet-access/login.conf. I am using the dev version (private-internet-access-vpn-dev 3.1b-1) if that matters.

toppy commented on 2016-09-28 22:02 (UTC)

@flamusdiu Just updated and unable to connect to PIA Checked the .conf files ... full path to crt and pem is there but they are listed as ...2096.crt (.pem) .. whoops ! :-) Should be 2048 or 4096 Thanks flamusidiu

flamusdiu commented on 2016-09-28 19:44 (UTC)

For the CA certs, you need the full path in the config files.
