The official PIA client is not yet free/libre software. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/helpdesk/news/posts/upcoming-changes-february-2019
So, I looked to other means. Someone in #privateinternetaccess on freenode mentioned the Ubuntu OpenVPN tutorial. I tried that, but even though it got me connected to PIA, I could not ping anything or load any basic sites. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/helpdesk/guides/linux/linux/ubuntu-openvpn-setup Also, pia-nm.sh has no license, which means it is proprietary software. I told someone about it, but it may help if more people ask nicely for a license to be added to the script, since it falls under copyright law. I recommended the GNU All-Permissive License for its brevity and simplicity. That said, I still ran the script. I'm sure the lack of a license header on such a simple script was merely an accident. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GNUAllPermissive Right now, I have an unprotected connection. Network Manager is all gray, as if I'm not connected at all or have a very low signal. How can I get connected to PIA without losing my connection?
