openvpn client setup with Private Internet Access

[tigs]

Hi Guys,

I am having difficulty setting up the private internet access (PIA) openvpn client. I am running the latest firmware on TP-LINK Archer C7 v2.

PIA uses username and password and key for CA. No other keys are needed. The current Gargoyle would not take blank fields in other keys. I tried the "single config file", "ZIP file" and manually. None worked. I guess the reason is some of the fields are left blank, and Gargoyle would not blank fields.

Thanks

You need to split your cert file, I can't remember where I found them but they're common for openwrt as well.

Then you need to create a password file similar to how you would do it if you use openvpn on your local windows machine.
