Overview of connecting to Private Internet Access (a VPN service) from a Linux machine

CLI OpenVPN Method

If you want to use OpenVPN on the command line to connect to PIA VPN, see Kali/OpenVPN/PIA

This approach will create your network interface in OpenVPN and configure it to connect to PIA's VPN servers automatically..

First make sure everything is up to date:

sudo apt-get update

Next, install the OpenVPN plugin for Network Manager:

sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-openvpn

If you are running Gnome Network Manager, you can install the OpenVPN plugin for the Gnome Network Manager:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager-openvpn-gnome

Finally you can set things to be automatically managed:

sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

change managed=false to managed=true
