This guide is for Trisquel 7.
Step 1 Open a terminal by pressing alt+f2 and then typing in gnome-terminal
and then press enter.
Step 2 After that type "cd Downloads" without the quotes and press enter next
type "sudo wget https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn.zip";
without the quotes and press enter.
Step 3 Open nautilus and go to Downloads folder than right click on
openvpn.zip then select extract here.
Step 4 Next left click on the network icon in trisquel panel then select edit
when the window opens click on Add following that left click on the arrow
pointing down to get the drop down menu when the drop down menu appears click
on import a saved vpn configuration then select create. Now navigate to the
openvpn folder you extracted in Downloads folder select any file ending in
ovpn file extension after the period. When the window opens enter in your
user name and password you received with the email you got from my private
internet access. Following that click on save
Step 5 After that right click on network icon in trisquel panel navigate to
vpn connections then select the location name of the ovpn file you opened and
then saved in network connections. It should connect after that.
Warning: Do not remove the openvpn folder you created after the extraction.
Because the ca.crt file is used from that folder.

FYI: I am not an expert I just kept on trying different ways until it worked.
Help: Do you really need to do this? "Move ca.crt and crl.pem to
/etc/openvpn" Step 5 from:
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/ubuntu10.10-openvpn
The vpn works without me doing that step.
How can I add this forum post to trisquel documentation?
