PIA headless with open port how?
Nope, those are here but they're clunky as heck

Hi, anyone can explain for me how to port forwarding with PIA VPN on Linux Headless?
I don't know what to do with these PIA github files. https://github.com/pia-foss/manual-connections

Able to get config files for WireGuard?
WireGuard is much faster for me. See here for PIA and 3rd party scripts which can be used to create WireGuard config files.

When creating an open config file where are the port forwarding options?
There's a separate API you need to use after the link is up

Using VPN with utorrent
If you're running a Linux server and want to automate it, PIA's automated connection scripts are here, and this script automatically runs those scripts, grabs the forwarded port and updates the config of your favorite client, then starts it.

Has PIA been abandoned?
I'm a bit partial to doing vpn with foss protocol and clients, without gui applications at all on mac and linux. PIA provides some nice resources to that end on their foss github page.

How do I prevent the wireguard token from expiring?
I set up PIA on my Ubuntu Server (which does not run 24/7) using the official Manual Connections repository, however with WireGuard, the authentication token runs out for me after a few days (since it expires when my server is turned off, then it can't get a new token when it turns back on), is there any way I can prevent this? It was working perfectly before the access token expired :p

Alternative Clients?

gluetun authentication with PIA
It's a bit of a pain in the butt, but I used the PIA manual connection script to generate a wireguard config file, and then I plugged that into gluetun and now it works great. Was easier than trying to config OpenVPN
