Work's firewall blocking VPN, but not on auto port
PIA's app works just fine on TCP and setting the port to auto. If I manually select a port (80, 110, 443) then I can't connect on any of them.
The same problem happens if I use PIA and OpenVPN connect (since it doesn't have an auto option and I have to pick a port).

Any insight?
Does the PIA app use other ports besides those three when set to auto?

Hi vpnuser02,
Sorry to hear you've been having troubles. The "Auto" setting on TCP actually uses port 500.
To use this port with OpenVPN, you can download one of our TCP OpenVPN config files from https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-tcp.zip , then open the .ovpn files, and change the port on the end of the vpn address (such as us-east.privateinternetaccess.com) to 500
