I am stuck....
I tried this:

and this, this was a pretty good video but unfortunately its not the same as
PIAs config.:

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"?
Each VPN service supplies configs in their own way, but usually there
should be some option to simply download a zip or tar.
In PIA's case they don't make it easy to find where the openvpn configs
are, but they're there:
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/#fifth
Any of the three *ip, *tcp or *strong-tcp will work.
After downloading the file, unzip the contents to /rw/config/vpn. For
example:
$ cd /rw/config/vpn
$ sudo unzip ~/Downloads/openvpn-ip.zip
There are multiple configs (one for each region) so pick one and copy it
to the config filename that will be used:
$ sudo cp "US East.ovpn" openvpn-client.ovpn

At this point you can continue with the doc instructions, but I'd
recommend switching to the method at
https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-support
It comes with an installer and you'll notice the instructions are pretty
simple.
2) "Create a file in the /rw/config/vpn folder with your credentials and using a
directive"...how do I do this?
This is done automatically by the Qubes-vpn-support installer. To do it
manually, just "sudo nano /rw/config/vpn/pass.txt" and add your PIA
username and password, one on each line.
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'm preparing new vpn tunnel support in Qubes and a simplified doc to go
with it. This should be available within a week or two. In the meantime
I suggest using Qubes-vpn-support at the above link.
