Ubuntu OpenVPN Setup for Private Internet Access (PIA)

From: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/ubuntu-openvpn

  1. On some distributions, you may need to run the following command before running the install script:
    sudo apt-get install curl network-manager-openvpn-gnome
  2.  
  3. Enter the following command in the terminal window:
    wget https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/installer/pia-nm.sh

    ubuntu
    tip: Press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste into the terminal.
  4. Enter the second and last command:
    sudo bash pia-nm.sh

  5. If you are prompted for your password, simply enter the password you use when you log into your computer. No stars or any character will appear: this is normal and just a security feature of the Terminal.
  6. The installer will ask you for your username as well as your connection method.

  7. Simply enter your username as indicated. The next two questions are optional and you can simply press the Enter key to skip them and use the defaults.

  8. That's it! You can now connect to PIA using the VPN Connections menu of the networking (arrows or WiFi icon) menu.
