.47 .46 PIA not worth a pinch of dust!

windows 10 64bit and nothing but trouble with PIA manager connection! 
I have since removed and using basic VPN connection within windows 10 and that seems to work fine. Of course it doesnt have the nice touches/features that PIA promises but certainly on Windows 10 cannot deliver even a basic stable service. 

so until they get their act together give pia manager a miss and just stick to what windows has built in. 

I do hope they can get the act together and deliver what is supposed to be available and still promoted on the web site. Just not for Windows 10.

    What exactly is the issue?

    frequently vpn not available/looks like vpn connected but no internet/ disable ethernet connection. enable ethernet, then activate vpn and it connects. Some time later no vpn connection. Remove totally and reinstall .47 or .46 (win 10 64 bit) and same problems occur. Removed all pia vpn stuff/ using windows vpn connection is totally reliable except when sleep or hibernate pc. Then have to sometimes disable ethernet port, enable ethernet port, connection returns, enable windows builtin vpn all ok again.

    Osccisionally I have to use cisco anyconnect vpn to work and that works fine with std windows, even through windows vpn. However if have PIA vpn connection active then a lot of problems getting connection with cisco anyconnect. 
    cisco anyconnect is 4.1.0620. PIA was .47 on Windows 10 desktop with  Panda free AV running. No other PC problems. Comms programs like ftp/putty for console access to work pc/linux platforms all work via the windows network + windows vpn + cisco anyconnect or combinations theroff but install pia vpn and use that and problems exist. Seems to vary in the exact nature of the problem but its just down to unreliable networking with pia connection actve. 

    Many various problems with pia vpn manager, like this photo shows.
