PIA (privateinternetaccess.com) + Qubes OS

[Darko Vuković]

There is no way I can make PIA work following official docs, tried 10**100 times, exact steps, no luck...

How To make a VPN Gateway in Qubes
> https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/

Following the post below I can make it work, it's different than the one above, but it can be started only manually, using command to test the service, every time...

OpenVPN Setup, revisited
> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/openvpn%7Csort:relevance/qubes-users/-9gR1Va3BnY/pJFTZXp2zzEJ

At this point I'm ready to pay for a decent 'sys-vpn' that works out-of-the-box.

:)

Does anyone know what seems to be the problem?

Anyone?!

I was using PIA with Qubes without any issues. Simply import the OpenVPN files into the NetworkManager in the sys-net, under the directory /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and you are ready to go.
Alternatively you can create a sys-fw and run the openvpn config there, in case you want to use multiple sys-fw.

What do you mean by "under the directory /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and you are ready to go"? How, What?

Is that different from the " import the OpenVPN files into the NetworkManager"?

And, can you explain to me please what's wrong with this method > https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/

Thanks

Take a look here...

The problem was having NetworkManager enabled. It also has some
troubleshooting steps, like using 'ping' with both IP addresses and
domain names, and checking 'iptables'.
