manual-connections VS pia-wg

Nope, those are here but they're clunky as heck

I don't know what to do with these PIA github files. https://github.com/pia-foss/manual-connections

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

There's a separate API you need to use after the link is up

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.

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.

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

https://github.com/pia-foss/manual-connections lists several, including mine

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

You can however generate pia wg config files using a python script (different from what you have linked) - it works pretty well.... Run script, enter credentials, select location and it will export the server.conf file

I have PIA VPN subscription and found this repository about how to extract the configuration https://github.com/hsand/pia-wg .

Try using standard WG client with PIA https://github.com/hsand/pia-wg

I wouldn't really recommend Private Internet Access ever since they were bought by Kape Technologies, but if you're determined, there's an open-source Python script to generate Wireguard configs.

Used https://github.com/hsand/pia-wg

I just used this to generate a PIA wireguard.conf file: https://github.com/hsand/pia-wg

you're looking for something like this https://github.com/hsand/pia-wg.

Not officially supported as yet, but this config generator may be of interest.
