Hey Zomboided,

Well that's a ridiculous fix. So yes I had clicked default while I was trialing out different password combinations and tweaks. But that wasn't the cause of why it failed to initiate the VPN. I'm still not entirely clear on the whys but whatever the case... I rebooted my system (as you suggested) just to give it another go and after a reboot... what do you know... it's connected and working like a charm. Oh how I love easy fixes! If only my issues with setting up raspberry pi (raspbian, arch linux etc) could always be as easy as this! Thanks for pointer! A reboot is all it apparently needed. Doh!!! Thanks so much for your quick reply. Cheers! ps and just use your normal credentials for accessing PIA... you don't need to generate anything on the site.

Hey Zomboided,

I am also having issues with PIA. Just installed your vpnmanager which I have used with airvpn before no probs but PIA which I have signed up for a year is not working for me. I'm using LibreElec 8.0.1 (latest version) on raspberry pi. Vpnmanager tries to connect and then sort of gives up trying to download .ovpns (I think). Bum. I tried your generating password and username stuff but that is for PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS and I've never used those before for connecting. Anyway alternative password and user didn't work. Slightly stumped. Tried turning ping off as well btw. Still no success. Anything I can do to help let me know! Would love to see this resolved. Cheers!

Not sure on best way to share log with you but I think this is the important bit... I think..
