  • My French is really bad. I mean really. LOL

    If you go to this page and down to step #9, you can download the configuration files and the certificate you will need. From there, you can get the majority of the information you need. If after you fill in the forms and it still is not working, come back with your log files.

    OK?

    so, I downloaded the file openvpn.zip (from your link above) then opened the "Norway.ovpn" file to take the info to fill in my form...but I still don't know what to fill in, cf screenshots (in english now :-)) below. Thank you for any help or suggestions.

  • In the Server Address remove the word REMOTE. Just use the address

    IPv4 and IPv6 you can leave blank

    DNS
    You can use any DNS address you feel comfortable using. If in doubt, just use these addresses. They belong to PIA.
    First Resolver - 209.222.18.222
    Second Resolver - 209.222.18.218

    In the Server CA, you will do a cut and paste of the file ca.rsa.2048.crt. So open the that file and do a complete copy and then paste the contents in the space provided.

    You may have to add some items to Options to Add. There are instructions for other routers and you might try some of those options. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/dd-wrt-openvpn-older-build see Step 16.

    You still have to setup you user name and password. I am not sure where you will do that. So when you get to that stage come back.


  • Hi @arnauld,

    Here's the configurations you should need:

    Addresse du serveur: no.privateinternetaccess.com (without the "remote" in it, just the address directly)
    Port du serveur: 1198
    Protocole: UDP
    Adresse IPv4 assignée: (leave blank)
    Préfixe IPv6 délégué: (leave blank)

    CA du serveur: use this file: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/ca.rsa.2048.crt
    Type d'authentification: Login

    DNS should also be left blank, but if they really want one ours are 209.222.18.222 and 209.222.18.218

    Finally, Options to add:
    nobind
    persist-key
    persist-tun
    tls-client
    remote-cert-tls server
    comp-lzo
    reneg-sec 0
    disable-occ
    cipher aes-128-cbc
    auth sha1

    And that should be it! Your router's configuration seems a little odd however and lacks a bunch of options we'd expect to be there, so I'm not sure if it's possible to get PIA working on this particular firmware.
  • thank you @Omnibus_IV and @Max-P,

    things changed a little, I installed a vpn client on a raspberry pi and I am trying to configure it. Thank @Max-P for the info. I am asked : 

    You need to upload a Client Certificate, or define a Username (or both) for starting your VPN Client.


  • I'll let @Max-P finish up. He is more of a professional than I am.
  • Im trying to set up my pia vpn on my zgemma box. Does anyone know how to do this?
  • @arnauld PIA uses username and password so you should leave the client certificate empty. I'm not sure why that page is showing an error as you only should need the server CA (which you have put the correct one in already according to the screenshot).

    @feginem You probably should open your own thread for this to avoid having multiple discussions in the same thread and avoid getting confused. You'll also have more chances of getting replies than to a question buried inside another different topic. Make sure to post some screenshots of yours so we can guide you through it!
  • Yeah ive put a post up, cheers.

    Hello, so I tried to set up with the info given by @Max-P, but I wasn't successful. I am asked for a "Delegated prefix (IPv6)". Also, do you think I should edit this advanced part: "
