Got it.

Same results I think.

shows connected with new ip but no traffic

This is as far as I got a few months ago.

Don't know if this will help but on the Libreelec info under Connections it shows an ip address different from the ip shown in wireguard app

The Libreelec info shows only the local network IP, the IP shown in WireGuard app is the IP from the server it connected to.

In terminal (ssh) you can do:

Bash

curl http://ip-api.com | grep country

This tells the country / region you connected to.

Just for fun I tried a different locale and VIOLA. PIA -US West streaming optimized connected with normal traffic. I tried another silicone valley and no traffic. Very odd.

That is a known issue with PIA. Dynamic, load-balanced auto-regions frequently establish a local connection link but fail to route internet traffic due to two infrastructure conflicts:

Virtual IP Assignment Conflict: These regions often enforce a static fallback placeholder (WireGuard.Address = 10.0.0.1/32). When ConnMan mounts this address locally, it conflicts directly with the remote server's internal gateway path. This confuses local routing tables and locks traffic into an infinite loop.
Un-Synchronized Gateway Balancers: Front-end balancers accept the cryptographic public key handshake and report a valid interface link status. However, they fail to sync the authentication session instantly down to the backend nodes handling live traffic. The local system brings up the wg0 interface, but the backend server drops data packets, resulting instantly network timeout.

But for the rest you can connect?

Salute.

As I mentioned US West location seemed to connect with good speed. I then added Silicone Valley Location and no connection. I tried to modify the list and WG manager froze then said No provider list. Humm.

I uninstalled WGM and started fresh. Once again to US West location and get errors I think it said missing valid link?

Good info to know. I would change to Nord but have a three year commitment to PIA as price is great and I've had no issues other than LE updates to latest security. Been using PIA for years on all my devices and never experienced any problems so WG seems a logical solution to keep LE alive on my PIs. Hope you can iron out some of these issues and anything you need I'm willing to test.

Try this service.wireguard.manager-1.4.6~beta.2 it fixes a critical crash caused by a base64 regex false-positive on raw alphanumeric passwords during PIA authentication tunnels.

I tested 3 locations and only one had traffic US West optimized. Might be useful to auto update/Regenerate locations after a change.

First do:

Bash

rm -f /tmp/pia_token_cache.json /tmp/pia_name_map.json

To get rid of "2026-05-30 23:50:13.420 T:1372 error <general>: service.wireguard.manager v1.4.6~beta.4: Password decoding failed, using raw password: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 2: invalid continuation byte"

On every connection, the add-on gets all data live from PIA API to request local server WireGuard configurations before handing control over to ConnMan. This auto-update/Regenerate locations on every new connection. What does

Bash

curl http://ip-api.com | grep country

say about the connection?
