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Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.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

Thanks kleshas! Worked great on brand new install! :-)

The three that fail for me are ip-lport-3.3.3-5.zip (openvpn-ip-lport.zip), default-3.3.3-5.zip (openvpn.zip), strong-3.3.3-5.zip (openvpn-strong.zip) (in order as below).

If you want it to work now, enter these three SHA256sums into the top three in the PKGBUILD (say yes to editing PKGBUILD on install):

To get these, I downloaded them from the list on this page under the Sources (10) area, then ran sha256sum on them.

I am aware of it. PIA updated the zips again. It will be a few days for me to update it due to RL stuff.

I'm having the same issue, zip files do not pass the validity check (not using any packaging manager for AUR):

==> Validating source files with sha256sums... ip-lport-3.3.3-5.zip ... FAILED default-3.3.3-5.zip ... FAILED strong-3.3.3-5.zip ... FAILED login-example.conf ... Passed pia-example.conf ... Passed restart.conf ... Passed vpn.sh ... Passed pia.8.gz ... Passed python-pia ... Skipped openvpn-update-resolv-conf ... Skipped ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

@bramswenson: I don't have any issue when using aura and the way it caches packages. Technically, it's pacaur way of caching. Either way, changed the PKGBUILD. I update the pkgrel everytime the PIA changes the zip for one reason or another.

@tom.swartz07: Yeah, I knew about that. Thanks for the link to refresh my memory.

The files that are conflicting should be updated to use the alternative uri path:
