Francisco, Try switching to TCP 443 to sidestep hotels and other providers that block VPN. I've had more success with that.
Leonardo, You will want to create two VPN connections through the Network dropdown via VPN Settings. The first uses weaker encryption but will allow a connection over a common unrestricted port. This is useful in hotels and coffee shops that filter traffic. The second connection will be more secure and should be used exclusively whenever possible. Download both of these certificates to your phablet/Documents folder: http://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/ca.crt http://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/ca.rsa.4096.crt *Connection 1: This will use the BF-CBC cipher over port 443 and work anywhere.* Server: italy.privateinternetaccess.com Use Custom Gateway Port: Checked Port: 443 All network connections: Checked Type: OpenVPN Protocol: TCP Authentication Type: Password Username and Password for your PIA account CA Certificate: ca.crt (Browse to the file that you downloaded) Cipher: default Compress data: checked *Connection 2: For normal *AES-256-CBC Everything is the same except: Port: 501 CA Certificate: ca.rsa.4096.crt (Browse to the file that you downloaded) Cipher: AES-256-CBC After you are connected to PIA, make sure that you're using the correct cipher. Open the terminal and run: grep -i cipher /var/log/syslog Something is configured incorrectly if you see: "WARNING: 'cipher' is used inconsistently, local='cipher AES-256-CBC', remote='cipher BF-CBC'" If nothing shows up in the syslog when connecting with Connection 2, you have connected successfully with AES-256-CBC Connection 1 will negotiate to use BF-CBC and that will show up as a WARNING in the syslog. That is to be expected.
