Hello,
For those who have an enterprise or university firewall, I suggest you to change the git protocol to the https protocol.
When I do this in the PKGBUILD, I get this error message:
patch: **** Can't reopen file /tmp/yaourt-tmp-colibris/aur-private-internet-access-vpn/src/openvpn-update-resolv-conf/update-resolv-conf.sh : No such file or directory
I report it here as it seems to be related to the PKGBUILD.
Thanks, and have a nice day!

@slopechaz: Well, it doesn't happen to me and I have idea really why that is. I guess I'll remove the hooks (shrugs).

@slopechaz: grr ... thought only the dev package was doing that. I will look at it when I get back tonight.

I get the following message;
'error: unable to run hook pia-install.hook: could not satify dependencies
Transaction successfully finished.
Running pia -a as root does not work

Alright, I added a new package -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/private-internet-access-vpn-dev/
Please use Github to report issues. There isn't a changelog just yet, but plenty of changes here.
This enables the "strong encryption" configs. You need to add "strong_encryption=True" under the "[pia]" section. When you do this, it will ignore any other configurations for ports, protocols, auth, and cipher. If there is any settings that work other then the defaults, please let me know.

I am working on a solution to be able to switch between the "default" and "strong" encryption for those that want to use the other configuration.
flamusdiu commented on 2016-07-23 02:12 (UTC)
Cipher should be fixed for NM

Note that this package provides only VPN profiles but not the vendor’s software.
The package version refers to the
python-piatool by @flamusdiu, which may lag behind the vendor’s own VPN software version.Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable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-piaversion.Thank you!
