Using Ubuntu 17.04, I have transmission and PIA set to start up, but Transmission is starting up and registering my IP address before PIA loads. Is there a way to force PIA to load before Transmission?
the simplest things to do are: 1. configure the software you want to only use the VPN to bind only and specifically to the VPN pseudo device (network interface). this way there are no leaks no matter what until after the VPN 'valve' is opened. 2. and like what d4rkcat said, create a script to sequence your startup elements. cheap-and-dirty-done-manually: start1 ; sleep 50; start2 ; sleep 70 ; echo "done!" .. for instance.

You should write a script that starts PIA and then transmission and autorun that script instead.
