Configuration PIA (privateinternetaccess.com) via OpenVPN

[ALT-FUser]

Install openVPN via Packages >> openvpn. Then connect via SSH to your ALT-F nase server. 

 # cd /etc/openvpn

then download the packages:

# wget https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn.zip

extract the packages:

# unzip openvpn.zip

Some networks are configured to be more restrictive than others, which can sometimes interfere with VPN connections. In the event the default files do not work, please try redoing the config file portion of the OpenVPN install and replace the https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn.zip file with one of the URLs listed below; please try each set until one of them works:
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-ip.zip
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-ip-lport.zip
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-tcp.zip
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-ip-tcp.zip

Then turn on TUN adapter via 

# modprobe tun

# ls -l

# openvpn 'config-filename-goes-here.ovpn'

(e.g.  # openvpn 'US East.ovpn' or # openvpn Netherlands.ovpn)

type your USERNAME beginn with pXXXX and your PASSWORD
DONE!

:-)
