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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

@flomax : could you explain what informations you wrote in /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf ? I dont't know where to put "cipher aes-128-cbc" (above [pia] or above [configure]) Thanks

asadana commented on 2016-07-15 17:05 (UTC)

Did pia -a, restarted networkmanager, and set AES-128-CBC (thanks @flomax) and working perfectly now. Thanks!

@wilberfan, yes you would need to restart networkmanager. @cryzed networkmanager with openvpn plugin working perfectly here.

I suggest not using NetworkManager's OpenVPN plugin at all, you are much better served with the systemd service templates that are installed by the OpenVPN package: "# systemctl start openvpn@<configuration>". It might of course be just me, but I've had horrible problems getting anything to work properly when using NetworkManager-OpenVPN: * https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4p73ih/networkmanageropenvpn_insanity/ * https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia/issues/8

I still can't connect. Checked the cipher and the port, all looks well. Attempts to connect via networkmanager fails immediately. Thoughts? [edit] I had to manually edit the VPN connections via nm-connection-editor. For whatever reason the CA Certificate was blank, the port number was still 1194, the security setting hadn't been changed... Does NetworkManager have to be restarted after updating private-internet-access-vpn and running pia -a? Cuz I may not have done that...

After updating then finding myself with the same issue described by Svante and Light2Yellow (connection is ok but no traffic apparent), I seem to have resolved it by creating /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf and adding the line "cipher aes-128-cbc" & all now appears to be working as expected again.

stevendupuis, it's fine here, sha256sum for openvpn.zip is '9739d03ea56dff678d76c8b702c4daf51b671a805e9b8920859275bd47b094cd' and is in the pkgbuild.

Hi Guys .. The openvpn.zip file is failing the sha check - the package fails build: ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Regards,

Okay, the problem was on PIA's side, I'm sorry for my message, flamusdiu. The package just gets broken relatively often, for different reasons, but it does. Svante, I have exactly the same problem. I'm using networkmanager. The solution is to Edit the connection through NM's interface and on Security tab set AES-128-CBC instead of Default cipher. I don't know where the default value is being set.
