Does PIA have Wireguard config files for router Asus Merlin?
I googled and looked through this sub, but couldn't find the answer. The only post that was remotely close suggested I make my own config files with a shell script. https://github.com/triffid/pia-wg

Shenanigans

How to 'whitelist' Prime video on TV?
Search for split tunnel openvpn or wireguard and you can figure out how to setup the configuration file. PIA doesn't share the wireguard configuration files, but you can get those using https://github.com/triffid/pia-wg Otherwise just use the openvpn config files. And you can install OpenVPN for Android on your tv. Copy the configuration files over and connect.

Seems like a reasonable assumption - mine's just called pia but that's because I wrote my own Linux shell script(s) to do the things

Split tunnel VNC viewer can't connect when VPN on
PIA's graphical clients are terrible wrt functionality (I have an open and unanswered issue against the Android client that's a few months away from a year old).

Cannot connect to any server on PIA android app
No idea what DUO mobile is, but I'm using the official wireguard app quite happily (with the help of my shell script) due to issues with the PIA app
-
More and more websites/programs failing due to blocking PIA IPs. What can be done about this? Split Tunnel Application & IP filtering hasn't really worked.
The git commit log is useless, and here's a 3 year old comment saying they don't offer changelogs for Android

Split Tunnel by App with Killswitch on Android
I stopped using the PIA app because it would constantly disconnect even when using wireguard, and frequently caused anomalous battery drain.
