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
GUI Managed Method
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
