I thought I might share my VPN woes here. On my RPi-5 been running LE 12.02 with no issues. Used Zomboided service.vpn.manager and nothing will work with Private Internet Access on the PI5. Still running fine on LE X86 systems. PIA finally responded with new config files and they are no help. So unless someone has another vpn manager that runs on LE I'll have to try Wireguard. I've spent the day reading about it but still a bit confused on some of the terminology. I found the Wireguard sample config file and am ready to give it a go if someone has a few moments to outline where to start I'd be grateful.

LE mods can remove this post as I give up. PIA started working again? No clue as to cause/effect. Three days even resorted to AI for a step by step to install and use WireGuard with PIA and nothing worked. Not as simple as advertised. Not ready for prime time IMHO.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure exactly what was going on but I suspect PIA had some issues as of today all my systems began working again. Really strange as X86 systems never had issues but 2 separate Pi5s in different states had same issues same software and would not connect. I resorted to AI to attemp to compile a step by step WireGuard install on the LE 12.0.2 Rpi5. I have not tried yet but looks promising.
