Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I am stuck....
I tried this:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/
and this, this was a pretty good video but unfortunately its not the same as PIAs config.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1_zqT7_N7k (Nice video internetz.me...learned a lot)
Qubester I went down your path as well but wasn't sure where to go after.
But couldn't really get off step 2 of the Qubes instructions...primarily due to my linux skills.
Can anybody help?
I got a NetVM working but with out a kill switch and credentials exposed it just doesn't work for me.
Looking at the Qubes instructions, I was able to create the "sudo mkdir /rw/config/vpn" but then things fall apart.
My specific questions from the VPN instructions that keep derailing me, specifically the basic commands needed are:
1) How do I copy files to: "Copy your VPN config files to /rw/config/vpn"?
2) "Create a file in the /rw/config/vpn folder with your credentials and using a directive"...how do I do this?
3) I haven't gotten further but suspect I'll have more questions.
Anybody have a source for a tutorial...I have googled the h3ll out of this and more questions then answers.
I will give you my first born(or a beer/wine!) for a step-by-step on how to do this!
This seems like an absolute must feature but I am at my wits end.
Help!
Here are the sad instructions I have so far:
sudo -s
dnf install nano
y
mkdir /rw/config/vpn
Thanks for the education on trust/veracity/trustworthiness with Github.
You and the Qubes team are doing a good thing! I really appreciate all the help...
Thank you!

I was hoping to beef up the security(maybe compromise the privacy) of the VPN service by adding OpenDNS or Quad9 DNS addresses to this configuration.
My questions I was hoping to get some thoughts on were:
1) I was presented with a Phishing site the other day...understand I am being targetted so I am not suprised. Is OpenDNS, Quad9 better then others? Are there others that would provide just as good filtering?
2) Tasket I found some documentation in the Qubes-vpn-support-master (README.md file) and references the ability to change your DNS address:
You can manually set your VPN's DNS addresses with:
```
export vpn_dns="<dns addresses>"
sudo /rw/config/vpn/qubes-vpn-ns up
```
How would I specifically change this? Is this a command? Would this be the specific command I would enter into my VPN VM if I was using OpenDNS:
export vpn_dns="208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220"
sudo /rw/config/vpn/qubes-vpn-ns up
I am asking here in the spirit of maybe providing some help to people trying to do the same thing...
Gratefully,

I just reconfigured with your Qubes4 (https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-support/tree/qubes4)...I assume it defaults to 1.4beta2. I added the following to the PIA OpenVPN config file:
setenv vpn_dns '208.67.222.222'
...at the bottom of the config file and hit "save".
I went to:
and it showed it worked OpenDNS was "active".
Question:
1) If I wanted to put both OpenDNS IPs into this would the addition to the config file look like this?:
setenv vpn_dns '208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220'
(i.e. space between the IPs)
I'll keep you posted how it works on Qubes 3.2...not sure I can do any formal tests but it is working. Would be happy to try if you tell me how...otherwise I'll keep you posted on what I see.
Thanks again for all you do...this is super hero type stuff!!

I am trying to get this to work with a stock Debian9 template(upgraded from Debian8 with stock install).
I can't seem to get it to work with Debian, the closest I have come is to a pop-up alert saying "Ready to connect" or words to that effect. I feel like I am missing a basic step in adding OpenVPN. I am adding the following commands:
su
apt-get install openvpn
apt-get install nautilus
apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome ?????
It just works using the Fedora 26 template(Not minimal template)...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance...
